I wonder if there are alternative frontends for those gold box games.
Like SCUMMVM for those old sierra adventures.
I played them all in their time on the C64. not even pirated, have all the game boxes somewhere.
Anyhow they haven't aged well.
Been into Pool of Radiance for 2 hours.
The early days of computing.
Healing someone means memorizing 3 cure light wounds, resting, casting them, each spell individually, memorizing each spell individually etc.
The combat, aim, hit m for manual targeting, move the cursor to the target, hit t.
I believe the later games were improved, but it's still quite painful.
So yeah does anyone know of any more modern frontends for the data those games provide?
Not very hopeful but who knows.
