There’s no such thing as an original idea anymore. Good article though.

I just ran across this article in my search for information about Rogue! Thank goodness I found that there was a link to Castle of the Winds. My god! I remember playing that on some crappy old school computers.

Although I have never played these games, I was interested in Eric's writeup. I found it very interesting and it did raise my curiosity about the interest my sons (Eric and his brother) and my husband have shown in these games. I found this article to be well written and quite informative and entertaining. Needless to say, I am quite pleased to say that "my son wrote this article."

So does anybody actually like the hover-over-pictures feature? Or should I just not bother with it in the future? Luckily, for those who don’t like it, it shouldn’t cause any trouble and I’ll always provide an alternative for readers to see a larger version of an image by clicking on it.

I personally dig it, but if it is pain in the arse to do every post, I can live without it =)

Dungeon Keeper was a great game, and actually had a well-implemented concept that a couple other titles have since used — possessing one of your creatures. Ghost master comes to mind. I haven't played it very much, but I seem to recall that you could view things through the eyes of the vistims you were suposed to terrorize. Can anybody confirm this? Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 comes close, with its new Coaster Cam, but I know there are others out there that let you take over creatures and see the game through their eyes.

Strange.. it works fine now… Can't understand how or why… Oh, and it's a very good idea RedWolf.

Great article. But I would like to read also about my beloved 'Dungeon Keeper' - amazing piece of software, humour, details (each monster has it's own behaviour, see it under zoom) and playability. I know people still playin' it.

BTW. The whole 'hover over pictures' thing doesn't work on my Opera. Maybe that's better, I don't like such features.

Thanks for the walk down memory lane. From the perspective of 'aging-but-refusing-to-get-old gamer', it's a treat to see that someone (anyone!) remembers some of these things. My game archive at one point included every piece mentioned here; sadly, my Mordor media is now kaput. I was actually very late to the whole 'Diablo' thing, though. Rogue, CotW, and Mordor held me so thoroughly in their grasp that it took the release of Diablo II to pull me laterally into that series.

Shattered Light. *shudder* I have it, but I long ago added it to my 'under no circumstances' list because of the character saving system and corrupted file issues. NWN, as far as I'm concerned, will always be the groundbreaker there: what good is a 'new idea' if it doesn't -work-?

But anyway, thank you. Wonderful article.
