Hi. Well I've had good news from the developer of eamon delux.
he's now working on a vi compatibility mode which will nicely fix all the annoyences of the first version such as the display problems and menues that could only be read through highlighting, it's also a generally major bug fix which is handy. Dosbox is apparently going to be optional at install, so that you will stil be able to run the game in a dos console window. Of course the bad bit about this is that it probably won't run that way on windows vista or 7, but there's not a lot that can be done about that unfortunately, other than running it in a virtual machine of course. I'm also suggesting to the developer that he add in the ability to buy upgrades to your core character stats, so that you can actually progress your character over time in a true rpg style and also don't have to rely on the character editer. This option is available in the expanded graphical version of the main hall, but not in the text one unfortunately, so I hope he'll add it sinse it means you can start off with your randomly rolled stats, then improve as you play in a true rpg style. I'm not sure what he is planning to do about the dungeon design part of the program, though if this could be made accessible that might be great for people wanting to write textual rpgs. So, hopefuly this is mostly good news for everyone. Btw, if you don't know what eamon delux is, see the page on audiogames.net. Beware the grue!
