Eye of Beholder


It's my fav RPG alongside Wizardry 8. I finished them all years ago, Eye of the Beholder I , II, and III with no cheating. Yo had to do your own maps. bloodwych was a similar title in the AMIGA and Atari ST, but slightly worse. The best of the saga was the EOB II, IMHO.

Yeah loved that game, maybe its just the nostaglia angle. I sometimes think those games were far more enjoyable  then todays RPG games despite the inferior graphics

Oh and loved Diablo

He was in Nba 97 for the ps1 along with....Hardaway Payton, Stockton, Oljiwan, Robinson,Drexler,Malone, and many more.
But what makes this game outstanding is the commentary ,its unbelieveable and has a feel that you are there -Slammmmm Dunkkk :;):

I remember now, I used to have NBA97 on the PS1.

Great game, especially in multiplayer.

Our parents (normally) did not know computer games at all. Thus, gaming has always been related with children, and it seemed that growing up involved not to play games.

But I think that's not correct, it's obvious that I can't play now I'm at work, but if it was a rainy day, and my girlfriend was in his town, a couple of games is a better option that the TV, for instance.

I have learnt quite a lot of english with text adventures, a la LEVEL 9, or MAGNETIC SCROLLS. The English text adventures (type in) have been the best I've met. I laughed a lot with an old text adventure "Terrormolinos" that it's about an englishman trying to survive a holiday in southern Spain.

Anyway, those text adventures are somthing every children should play, you must read, you must think, you must work out a solution, it's fun and educative. I still play a lot of them but some englush adventures have a lot of injokes, that are hard to understand for a foreigner, anyway, it's a nice way to learn.

The Wind Waker is immense. I was sceptical about cell-shading before I played this, but as usual Nintendo pulled it off. It's so huge and packed with thousands of little extras (and that disturbing Tinkle bloke), but I'm glad that Twighlight Princess is going old school. It looks so sweet.
