Yeah, the mage stuff was all really cool. But I just love playing rogue archetypes too much. *squish*

I've just ordered a new gaming rig so all I have to do is figure out how to xfer saved games and I'm golden.

No more discs for me.

Word! The last game I bought on disc was SC2.

What I'd really like is some of the classics in discless. Command & Conquer Generals: Zero Hour, Dungeon Keeper 2, etc. I know there's some "classic games" source kicking around out there. But IIRC it still ships media.

GOG.com offers some classics for download. I picked up "The Journeyman Project 2" from them not too long ago. Give them a look

And if you are looking to go REAL oldschool, look up DOSbox. It is an emulator to be able to play classics from WIN95. You'll have to download backups of the images online (for games you legally own, of course) and/or rip your own discs to use it.

Nice, thanks o/

I've never quite committed enough attention to it to get DOSbox up and running. But I've been doing this since Wizardry 1 on the Apple ][ and I'd like to hit some of the classics again.

But you can play Sierra: Life in the Fast Lane

That game makes me reminisce in a big way.
