Old Games Show and Tell

[Sacrosanct]

Older video game RPGs? Some of my all time favorites:

 

[Alzrius]

Crossbows and Catapults! Love that game.

...or was this supposed to be only for video games?

One of my sisters saved my Dark Tower game, said she put batteries in it and it didn't work though.

Think these count. PAL versions as well.



Bottom one is D&D Warriors of the Etenal Sun. Glare.

My alts from Star Wars: The Old Republic... I have one main character, but all the others are inspired by other things.

My attempt to play a droid... They wouldn't let me use numbers in the name, but this is 5CR-CR0 - a tin man named "Scarecrow"... Originally an attempt to play a wooden puppet, but I immediately noticed that the helmet it's wearing had a terminal case of "Cute Robot Face" so I found a set of armor that had a full set of android limbs and torso.



An homage to Warhammer/Warcraft orcs... a sexy greenskin with a big gun named Ah'kilt Jo'mama... (I've gotten several compliments on the choice of name, lol.)




And lastly, Chokey Smurf, who's obviously a Sith...

It's dark and I was eaten by a grue:

Not to be confused with being eaten by a Gru...

I actually played that game a few times, on a friend's family computer... Out family didn't get one until over a decade later.

It's dark and I was eaten by a grue:

Love the Zork reference. I include grues in my campaign.

(if its dark they do auto damage each turn and you cant hit them)

Skerples included them in The Monster Overhaul. An excerpt:

"Appearance: A heap of shadow with teeth. A mole-lamprey. A bat-ghoul. A nightmare. Grues cannot be seen by conventional sight; only those who can see without light have ventured to describe its form.
Voice: Silent.
Wants: To bite off heads.
Morality: Bestial cruelty.
Intelligence: Inscrutable.

....A Grue's world is not bounded by stone or air. It is bounded by light. Light is an impenetrable barrier. Surround one with light and it will be squeezed out of existence. A Grue cannot attack anyone in the light. But in darkness, you are likely to be eaten."
