- I am requesting some info about several games, please mail me because I may
- or may not skip over responses in the newsgroup.
-
- KYRANDIA
- --------
- 1. Will it run on my system? (IBM PS/2 Model 50Z, 10MHz 286, Roland MT-32,
- VGA, Mouse, Base 1 Meg Ram + 512k Above Board, 40 Mb hard drive)
- Will it be playable? I heard some people have problems setting the game
- up.
- 2. How much is it?
- 3. How much does the game resemble the "Kings Quest" series by Sierra?
- 4. Does it support Roland music?
-
- DARKLANDS
- ---------
- 1. Will DarkLands run on my system (system specs above in Kyrandia Question
- #1)? If so, will it be sluggish as hell?
- 2. Is it fun? I really enjoyed Knights of Legend, which was basically
- "all-combat" and virtually no story, because it was exteremly detailed.
- 3. How much is it?
- 4. There are reports of lots of bugs... are the bugs serious or are there
- ways around them?
- 5. Any copy-protection? I hate the HyperSpeed copy protection. Civ wasn't
- too bad, but still annoying.
- 6. Does the game support Roland music and what is the quality of its sounds.
-
- WIZARDRY 7 (I THINK, IN ANY CASE, THE NEW ONE)
- ----------------------------------------------
- 1. Will it run on my system? Will it be playable?
- 2. When will it be avaliable? (I live in Indiana, and I usually go to
- Indianapolis to get software, so if anyone is in the Indy area, your
- repsonse would be greatly appreciated- From my experience, it takes
- 1 month after software reaches other major cities for the software to
- reach here).
- 3. Does it require previous Wizardries? (I have none)
- 4. (MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION) Is it fun?
-
- MIGHT AND MAGIC 4: THE CLOUDS OF XEEN
- -------------------------------------
- 1. Will it run on my system?
- 2. When will it be avaliable?
-
- Thanks for taking the time to read this. My 286 can't run the recent
- Ultima series (VII and Underworld). I really enjoy the Ultima series, but
- I am sure there are other good RPGS out there (I really liked Might and Magic
- III). I hope to upgrade to a 486-33 or 486-50 soon, but for now, I'll have to
- live on my 286.
