[QUOTE="Nomad4life, post: 2805090, member: 28645"] I’m still waiting for another SSI Gold Box game. I mean, those games were perfect. The absolute end-all-be-all apex of PC gaming. I still have no idea why anyone would willingly chose to deface the very concept of electronic gaming by adding more than four directions, coherent dialogue, or anything other than CGA/EGA/VGA graphics. Every fiasco of computer games ever since has been nothing but large awkward steps backwards from that golden era of harmonic gaming purity. Neverwinter Nights and WoW are decent in some ways, but they just can’t begin to compare with; “I am Lord Mustardbutt. You will deliver this package to Uncle Booger. You will be well rewarded for your courage in this endeavor.” -Fight -Agree -Leave “You accept the quest, and record what happens next as journal entry #666.” Entry #666 The Quest of Lord Mustardbutt “Just as we accepted the quest of Lord Mustardbutt, a warband of orcs descended upon the party. Somehow, in the midst of the chaos, bloodshed, and butchery, I still had the time to record my observations and insights surrounding this moment in your game manual. Guess I always wanted to be more of a wartime journalist than an adventurer anyway.” So, whatever direction WoTC decides to go in on the virtual gaming market, if it ain’t a true Gold Box game, it simply has no chance of replacing my PnP experience. :] ;) :p [/QUOTE]
