[Audyssey] ISO a D and D mud like Shadowdale

2013-12-25 Thread K

Hi everyone.

I tried out AlterAeon and like it but am looking for  something that is more 
mainstream dungeons and dragons.  Shadowdale is very accurate to the 
original game design and character progression, but I don't care for the 
way aliases are handled (you can only have 10 and they have to be slaved to 
the number keys on the top of your keyboard), the fact that you can not 
simply type hp, mp, or mv or whatever and get your hitpoints, mana points or 
movement points revealed to you.  There is a prompt you can set, but I find 
it annoying and turn it off.  Also, they have a report command but that 
gives you percentages of those 3 stats and not the real numbers.


So, I am wondering if there is a game like shadowdale that allows you to 
pick a character's race  and then select a real D and D class or multi class 
combination.  I don't want to have to level in every class like in alter 
aeon.


I know it's a lot to ask for, but shadowdale is the closest and the game 
play is a bit jerky at best and there are not ims on to ask questions of.


Thanks

K

 Holiday Bash
 
 by Mad Games Inc.
 
 Your name is Ted Wilson, and it is Christmas Eve again. Once again,
 you are under enormous pressure to find the perfect Christmas gift for
 your wife, your two kids, and everyone else on your holiday shopping
 list. The consequences for failure could mean the end of your
 marriage, your parents refusing to speak to you ever again, and your
 entire family will turn against you for being such a scrooge. So
 finding the perfect Christmas gift at the absolute last minute is your
 one and only chance to save face. However, your task will not be an
 easy one.
 
 In this fast action brawler you must hurry through several department
 stores looking for the items on your Christmas list as untold numbers
 of last minute Christmas shoppers block the isles, steel items from
 your shopping cart for themselves, and physically attack you for
 getting in their way. In order to accomplish your task you will have
 to use your skills as a boxer to knock out and beat up shoppers who
 are standing in your way, wrestle items away from other shoppers who
 are carrying what items you need, and will have to fight to the death
 to defend the items in your shopping cart from unscrupulous holiday
 shoppers who will try and steel items from your cart while you are
 occupied with something else. As time runs out the holiday shoppers
 will become more determined to steel your items and you will have to
 resort to gathering up weapons in around the store such as knives,
 guns, ball bats, or anything else you can lay your hands on to stop
 the hoards of crazy holiday shoppers from steeling your Christmas
 gifts. So don't delay buy the game today.
 
 Now, for a one-time offer you can buy Holiday Bash today for 75% off
 of the retail price for PC, iOS, or Mac. Plus with this offer you can
 get a Mad Games Inc. t-shirt, and a holiday coupon to save on your
 next Mad Games purchase. Offer valid until January 1, 2014.

 Well When I click on multiplayer it tells me who is the sponser for

 I thoght at this point I was to be taken to the safe zone to chose
 what type of game I wanted to play.
 When I escape out of this silence the option for multiplayer is gone

Hi Charles:

You can certainly play several text adventure games on Windows 8.1. If
you have Winfrotz you can play pretty much every game written in
Inform and ZCode that was ever written with your screen reader or Sapi
speech output. If you have Agility for Windows you can play old text
adventures written in AGT, and Tads32 will allow you to play various
games written in Tads. So when it comes to text adventures you can
pretty much play everything available for XP accept for those Dos
games compiled for 16-bit systems such as Eamon Deluxe.

As for Jim Kitchen's games I have gotten them to work on Windows 8.1
as well. I admit it takes a bit of fiddling to get them to work, but
it can certainly be done. What I do is install the Winkit file to get
the Visual Basic 6 runtime libraries installed, and then I install his
games to a directory like c:\Users\Thomas\Kitchensinc where they will
work without having issues with User Account Control. As long as you
know how to set up the Kitchen's Inc. games you won't have a problem
with them.

I haven't tried Ten Pin Alley, but I have tried Lone Wolf 3.5 on
Windows 8.1 and it works alright. Again, it just basically requires
you install the proper libraries and make sure it is in a local
directory rather than in c:\Program Files or c:\Program Files (x86).

As to the issue of upgrading I have repeatedly gave reasons why I
think people should upgrade. I'm not going to repeat it here as I'd
just be wasting both my time and energy rewriting what I have said.
All I will say in response is since those games can still be played
your excuse not to upgrade is not valid based on compatibility alone.

Cheers!

I would not upgrade to get better voices than those I already have, which
are good enough.  Nobody in their right mind would use Microsoft Sam

they absolutely had to, so that's a very poor comparison.  I would not 
use

Narrator unless I had to, either, but I would not upgrade from a platform
with which I can access all of my previously purchased software to one 
with


which I cannot, just for a better Narrator.

Can I play text adventure games using Windows 8.1?  How about Lone Wolf 
and


Tenpin Alley?  Jim Kitchen's games?  If these cannot be played, why 
upgrade?


I cannot see spending more money to get less access.

Hi Ken,

Yeah, I guess someone could create an entire series of games on the
Holiday Bash theme. Rampaging through the super market shopping for
groceries for a 4th of July sale, one fighting the crush during the
Black Friday sales, and another based on the Christmas Eve last minute
shopping theme.

Cheers!
