Ultima IV
Message #134168
I don't know about that Steve. I remember seeing Pinball Construction Set in the same slideshow that previewed RtA, Arctic Fox, Sky Fox, et al. Nobody probably cares about it though.
Hahaha – I haven't played anything good for awhile since DM. If Rings of Zilfin was made for the Amiga (I dunno) you may want to try it in the meanwhile – tis pretty good (tho not up to Ultima/DM level at all.)
Well you can do "bad" in Ultima and play the game, but you won't be able to finish it. The game is trying to teach you something – I don't have a problem with that. I don't think it's like every other RPG – it keeps track of variables of…
Land of Legends was announced at just about the time Fairy Tale Adventure was released. Which just makes the waiting all that much unbearable because I *loved* FTA… I wish LOL was out already… (Just watch… They're all waiting for the Christmas rush… Within 3 days of each other in…
The player is given no real choice between good and evil. If he does good, he proceeds, if not, he doesn't. There are no real alternatives to being good and eventually saving the world, which makes it basically the same as every other RPG in existance. I've long wanted to…

Steve, talking about overdue, what about Land of Legends? I think it was first announced to be ready next month back in March of '87. (And yes, when I called the expected release date is once again, "next month.") I am anxiously waiting to see Dungeon Master on the Amiga!…
Don, "OF COURSE NOT!" So says Discovery….. Fine people there…() Jer

Ultima IV
Message #134130
I wish it were a joke, but I'm afraid you're dead serious with good reason.
Hmm…well the player can choose his own path – please elaborate.
None of that, however, is truly a moral choice on the part of the player. Those choices are FORCED on the player as part of the game framework. Now if Ultima had allowed the player to CHOOSE his own path, even if that mea HELPING the forces of evil to…

Message #134121
There's alot more to that in Ultima, though – there's giving blood, money, the kill no/kill, not fleeing from battle, not answering questions incorrectly (saying that you are the best in the world for instance), and more..

Ultima IV
Message #134120
DungeonMaster is one of the most incredible games I've played, and it has incredible graphics and sound. It's a complete environment with 3 d monsters that move, walk, scream, get larger as they move closer and can throw spells. The same with your characters – they grow and can do…
Jer, Yes, I saw that message…real cute. I suspect that the dealer isn't spreading the virus, that the original disks may have been infected. Don
Well (grin) there is a difference – I can see (barely) an argument for StarGlider and Bard's Tale, but there is no argument for Autoduel ST, it's worse than a type-in program from Compute! for a VIC-20, converted (and not enhanced) to an Amiga.
Timothy, You'll see him on radar. Fly West off the carrier until the Island is North of you. Fly north to the pilot. This will allow you to overfly him without worrying about hitting the island. Now, get down low, the lower the better. When the pilot is in visual…
I don't know Henry, maybe I should buy it… I enjoyed Starglider and Bard 's Tale and you didn't like those either.
Haha – I do check frequently and today I was bored at work… 🙂

How do you drop the rescue pod close enough to the downed pilot?

#Harrier Combat Sim.
Message #133856
I have HARRIER COMBAT by Mindscape and do NOT recommend the program. I just got INTERCEPTOR and think it is a much better program than JET.
Henry, you give the fastest responces of anyone I've ever communicated with. are you sure you're not scorpia?
The third is pending editing, clearing – should be up in a few dayS.

#Harrier Combat Sim.
Message #133851
when is the 3rd?
No I haven't but will keep an eye out – thanks!
Don, Two more new disks were tried at the dealer's on their machine and the same thing happened. See my message of the "great" service I got when I asked Discovery about it…. Anyway, my guess is that they have a problem…..a BIG PROBLEM with the new arkanoid!!!! Jer

Jon, is this for the Amiga or an IBM compatible? Chris

Harrier Combat Sim.
Message #133823
Forget Harrier. Interceptor is great!
Henry, Have you seen the advertisements for Fire And Forget. Looks like Autoduel minus the role playing. 3D behind the vehicle graphics. Looks like your car equipped with missiles and guns facing attack helicopters, tanks, etc. Looks like it's going to be fun. Titus software says it will be released…
I hope your talking about Autoduel – Ultima IV is probably my favorite game of all time (getting ready to defend it to the death, withdrawing sword…)

#Arkanoid Problems!!?
Message #133767
Jerry, Try the disks on another Amiga, see if that makes a difference. k Arkanoids does work on the A2000, at least the old version did. Don
Henry, If it was 1979, and you ran it on an Apple, it would be great. However… It's 1988, and there is just a trifling bit more sophistication in the hardware. Nice concept – but the implementation should get the writer horsewhipped on nationwide TV during prime time. Doug

Autoduel ST is one of the most horrid pieces of software ever to be attempted to be marketed to the American public, except for maybe MS-DOS. The sound of the game is akin to a human with severe gastic distress, the graphics are worse than what an Atari 2600 can…

F/A-18 Interceptor
Message #133752
Well, I certainly wouldn't go that far! The only person whose credibility should be lowered for making a statement like that is if someone from EA said that – then their "stance" on the issue and their information would tend to be quite wrong. But for a user – no…

Railroad Simulator?
Message #133626
Yup. Even own a copy of it. Another nice game (although I much prefer the little metal trains in Empire Builder over the plastic pieces in British Rails…) –>Steve Bennett

Where did you hear about it? Where can you GET it! I've looked but can not find it anywhere. Thanx, Marc
#NEW SOFTWARE
Message #74363
Hey, have any of you seen Barbarian yet? It just came out from psygnosis, the Brittish Co. It has to be the best arcade/adventure game out. check it out!
I have been playing it… For a hint on how to get more energy, you have to read the novella… Then, fly real low and slow without bumping the ground starting from between the two heading towards the one, and you should be recharging… –>Steve Bennett
When I finished, I had a bravery of around 1000, a luck of about 25, and I forget my vitality… I *had* a character with a bravery of about 1500 but my save game got all mucked up and I lost him. –>Steve Bennett

Questron
Message #74357
Jeff J is right on track! Just got through answering his message! EA DOES have customer support, even though they don't list their telephone numbers on their packages! Lords is a fun game, if you like simple strategy games. (Each game only takes about a half an hour to play,…

Addendum to Steve's reply. Do explore Marheim but don't pick it (them) up until you're ready to visit Grimwood or you will be out of food just when you need it most! Ted

Is there anyone else playing this? Haven't seen ANY messages! Maybe someone can tell me how to get more energy, silos only recharge lasers and shields… Jeff DeLeo
ALIEN FIRES
Message #74350
After spending over 24 game hours trying to get somewhere in Alien Fires, I decided to call Jagware for some help and to voice my opinion and criticisms as well as those mentioned on this board during the past several weeks. Although I did not elicit much in the way…
Questions
Message #74344
Jeff, Two questions: I have seen some talk here about Lords of Conquest. I wasn't aware of an Amiga version of this very fine game. I am assuming that they are talking about it on another machine…correct? (Any chance of a conversion for the Ami?) The next is just when…
Thanks for the info. I spent about three hours last night looking for those items. I have realy enjoyed the game but I was not making any progress. BTW — what was your characters bravery, luck and vitality when you finished ? Thanks again, Don

Yes, you can get to the witches castle without the swan… In fact, you have to do so… (Use those totems!) As for the Sunstone, there's an unmarked keep in the mountains south of Marheim… You have to get there… –>Steve Bennett
