This is frustrating!!!

*grins*

What was that word that Doombot used? Hm.. munchkins, wasn't it? Dammit, isn't there a savegame editor for this wonderful old game! ;)

I feel your pain... it's been a month, and I just.. cant.. survive past Las Vegas. And I'm even using a walkthrough.. grr.

RE: *grins*

I have a confession to make. I've never played Wasteland. I know, I know. It's the father of Fallout. But... Any ideas on where I'd be able to get a copy?

Hmmm... That little bird was right. 675 kb! Ahhhhh... The good ol' days of small, well-done games.

RE: *grins*

Yeah i remember on my c-64 it had 4 disks. hahaha
So that lead the way to the infamous diskswapping cheat.

For a good gameplay be sure to have the paragraph on hand because you won't enjoy the game without it.
Those paragraph were an early attemp against piracy because without them the game does not make sence, and just reading them does not make sence anyway since there is a second story in the paragraph along with reference to bard's tale.
Actually it workes because i grew tired of not getting what was happening so close to 15 years ago i shelled out 35 $ to buy the damn game, and i've never regreted it.

Talking piracy, does any of you guys ever own a copy of Bard's tale III. The anti-piracy feature was guilt.... it went something like this: this game is not write protected please do not copy this game to friends etc. doing so will remove revenus to help create other great games like this one.
sniff they almost had me crying there for a minute. My oppinion they should have stuck with the wasteland type protection, but on th eother game they would have had to keep making EXCELLENT games....(yes that was irony)

Now if Microsoft put that on the CDs they market now piracy would run rampant because it would serve as "justice."

I like Firaxis's defeatism: They didn't add any form of copy protection and left all the data, graphic, and script files in plaintext/readable graphics formats because they said we'd find a way to copy and mod it anyway, so why make it harder on us.

Pretty much true...but then the odd enough thing is, they aren't touched by a few warez folks BECAUSE of that. Most warez and 'hackers' do that stuff out of challenge. So when they do that, only the cheap would pirate.

Not that it helps in the long run, but the sentiment is good.

Besides, the same person who will not look extra hard on the net for the crack for the game probably doesn't have enough interest in the game to buy it.
