- I've been a big fan of Zork games when I had an Apple //c and I hear
- that Spellcasting follows the tradition of the better Infocom games.
- I realize it's text/graphics but I'm more concerned about story,
- playability and bugs. Anybody's opinion on it and any suggestion on
- which one I should play first. I've read reviews on SC 301: Spring
- Break and it sounds almost like a LSL plot (almost) but with more tongue
- in cheek humor. The interface looks good but yet I'm hesitant.
-
- Seen in Jan '93 of CGW: Ultima 7 Part II: Serpent's Isle. Can be a
- stand-alone game, Black Gate is not required. Also new is Ultima UW II:
- Labyrinth of Worlds.
-
- Also of interest from Electronic Arts is Ultrabots, a MechWarrio-like
- game with better playability and graphics. And Psygnosis will have out
- Lemmings 2: Tribes. The ad says 12 more tribes of lemmings, each with
- their own skills (including skiers, surfers, bongo players, snake
- charmers + more).
-
-
- PS I know I mentioned the //c up there, but I _do_ have a PC... (out with
- the old...)
