Re: [Audyssey] Reply to steven regarding Eamon
Hmmm most odd, though being as it was written later on I suppose it's logical, even though I believe westfront written the same year still needs the 32 bit system.

Re: [Audyssey] Reply to steven regarding Eamon
The writing in world of legends could indeed be improved, but the game has some nice mechanics at least at the start. it's the sort of thing that would be awesome if a little more time had been paid to it. Also don't forget there are fallthru and westfront, fallthru is a particular favourite of mine though I admit the parza takes a degree of getting used to, and indeed a couple more, one i found on baf's guide to if looking under rpgs, called forbidden lands and another called psionics. Probably more are around if you look, I found braminar through some concerted googling after I saw it mentioned in the intro to Drone. Back to Eamon, just drop frank black an E-mail on eamondel...@gmail.comm if you want to try some of the beta versions, though i think we're getting into public release land with the games now anyway.

Re: [Audyssey] Reply to steven regarding Eamon
I know that World of Legends was written in C++. You could download the game and its source code as well. I even recompiled it to test if my Dev-C++ was correctly set up at work. I found out that my compiled EXE was smaller than the downloadable compiled version and that the file had a readable version number in its file properties dialog (Windows XP), which the original EXE also didn't have. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Hi, That's because I believe World of Legends was compiled as 32-bit to begin with. Just because a program is console based doesn't necessarily mean it is 16-bit. Any console application compiled over the last 14 years or so is most likely 32-bit provided the developer used a 32-bit compatible compiler. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] Reply to steven regarding Eamon
Actually, world of legends runs just fine without needing a 32 bit system. No idea why or what's different about it since it just looks like a typical command prompt. -- From: "dark" Sent: Friday, March 16, 2012 05:22 AM To: "Gamers Discussion list" Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Reply to steven regarding Eamon The answer is a lot. There are currently about 180 Eamon adventures due to be converted into Eamon deluxe format, most from the classic 250 Eamon adventures, but also some Eamon deluxe original ones too. Frank black who maintains Eamon deluxe has also said he plans to convert the other 95 or so original Eamon adventures to Eamon deluxe format after the current version is finished, and that's not counting whatever other adventures people might write for the Eamon system (indeed I well might do one myself). I have personally played about 20 or so adventures in the beta copy I've been testing, and the rest are due to come soon. So if you like the idea of text rpgs, there is lots in Eamon deluxe to keep you going and indeed if my own pc broke tomorrow and I needed a windows 7 machine I'd make getting a virtual xp environment fairly top on my priorities list. Then of course, don't forget there is more than just Eamon. Fallthru, westfront, drone, braminar and world of legends are also text rpgs playable with dos (check audiogames.net), and there are others out there too, as well as some older audio games that don't convert well to windows 7 for one reason or another.

I don't like world of legends very much, the style of writing looks like it was done by a 10 year old. Drone and Braminar is ok but they get a bit repetitive after a while.
