Is it still playable nowadays? I played that game what... 13 years
ago or so? I loved it then, but don't think I can stand seeing it
now. Sometimes good memories are better when they stay that way... as
memories

I replayed it year or two ago, and it was fun - still a very good gameplay,
though the graphics look a bit blocky. But getting it run might be
challenging - I had hard time getting the sound work.

Wasn't 'Betrayal at Krondor' released as a freebie a few years ago?
That worked fine on Windows.

NOTHING works fine on Windows. If Bill Gates had a nickle for every time
Windows crashed....oh, wait. He does.

Not a "freebe," per se, as Sierra still owns the copyrights, but it's
"abandonware," and you can download it free on several sites. One of
the subscription sites (forget which) offers a version that's tweaked so
you can run it under Windows without a DOS emulator.

Best, R.E.F.

Actually, it was officially released for free, by Sierra, at least on a
magazine CD (so that probably means it was free only to buyers of the
magazine). And it's still one of my all-time top 5 favorite games. Maybe
my favorite.

Raymond,

Er, are you the actual author of the Riftwar novels and BAK, or are
you just using his name as a usenet moniker ??

Intrigued and curious.

I'm the writer. I have no idea why anyone would want to use my name as
a moniker. If I was going to pretend to be someone else, I'd probably
shoot for Brad Pitt.

Geesh, John, are you everywhere? <g>

Folks, John Bunting, who runs my web site and does a bang-up job, IMHO.

Anyway, no, Brad's busy being on the cover of every new mag in the
States this week, so I've had to get Russel Crowe to fill in which is
why I'm being such a bastard to everyone. Next week I'm being played by
Gilbert Godfried, so expect things to get very strange.

Unison? I'm going to have to look at it. I used to use Thoth, but the
creator got bored and stopped supporting it, and now am using
MT-Newsreader. It's OK, but has a few things about it that annoy me.

I'm stuck in the MS Word world. Mostly because I was an abandoned
WordPerfect guy, which I loved on the Mac, but when WordPerfect decided
not to support OS X, I had to go to Word. Before I'd export WP files to
Word, because HarperCollins is stuck in the MS world on Intel iron like
most big companies. I still hate Word, but I'm more or less used to it.
As 90% of what I do is type, cut & paste, and delete, it's no biggie.
It's the other 10% that makes me nuts when I have to use it, and every
time I cry, "Damn you WordPerfect of Orem Utah!" <g>
