This is a terrible idea. Having shops in dungeon crawlers makes it too easy to replace good dungeon design and puzzle elements with grind, loot, and a sort of accountant-like fascination with equipment stats. Go and get yourself some good spreadsheet software instead. Uh, Might and Magic says hello...

Oh God... This just gave me horrible nightmares of Ultima 3... The last game I can remember where monsters could attack you diagonally but you could only aim in the 4 cardinal directions... But yeah Diagonal attacking wouldn't work at all in a "Grid" based game like this. Some sort of aut...

I'd love to know too, but apart from getting hired by almost human, it's pretty impossible (and after that I couldn't tell you anyway =). The contracts with distribution chains (steam, gog) forbid giving out this information. This may sound silly, but there's actual reasons for that - game sales fi...

My favourite way to play EotB I & II is to take a party of 4 halfling fighter/thieves with rolled stats and rely on retainers for magic. Ensures many fun moments, especially early on - and lots of switching party ranks. Sounds like quite a fellowship. ;) Yeah, I used to scour the LotR forward a...

EOB did allow you to customize stats to better match any PnP D&D characters you might want to play. Played standard, the game could be very difficult. It was entirely possible to be surrounded [attacked] from all sides while having every party member be paralyzed; unable to defend. My favourite...

The pits in DM and CSB were scary things and only in one or two places ever led to anything good. Quite often you'd get thrown into a hard part of the level below, your spellcaster would die in the fall so you'd lose your light and have no idea where you were, let alone where the nearest stairs/food...

I doubt it lasted, Sonja never had much stamina. Well, Stamm himself had minimum mana at the beginning, but towards the end he threw 6th grade fireballs.. Lol, Stamm was one of the best, definitely the best to resurrect (along with Gothmog!) I think Lief and Zed were the best two to reincarnate bec...

Illusionary wall/ an alternative to walking against walls is to put/throw things forward and see if they disappear. Stamm, your name reminds me that for years I had no idea whether it was Stamm, Stamn, Stam or Stann thanks to the wonderful font choice on the ST version and the blurriness of my TV p...

There was this one game where you move square by square. You could also have up to 4 players playing it on same screen divided to 4 sub-screens. There were movable blocks and you could set traps. Characters were kind of military / cyborg style with many weapon choices. Please remind me what was the...
