My new favorite old favorite game

[Spleen]

Yeah, that's right. Of all the games I call my "old favorites", this is my new favorite (except maybe for Secret of Mana or something; this is definitely up there, at any rate).

It's hardcore awesome. It'll probably require DOSBox, which is a DOS emulator.

This game has multiplayer support (it's hard to work out with the emulator, but I figured it out and I can show other people how to do it too). I haven't tried multiplayer mode with another person yet, so I can't promise it'll work terribly well.

It would be good to use Radio Spleen (the TeamSpeak server) to communicate during this game, because the messaging system seems an afterthought. <p>-_-___-___-___-_-

I'd like to be one of the first people to note that I've actually heard of the Magic Carpet games.

I've just never played them! <p><hr />

I have!

I hated them! Cousin liked them.

Not me though. <p><div style="text-align:center"> </div>

I love it when topics come together. <p><hr />

I would get it if it didn't take for-fucking-ever to download. <p>-----

Yeah, unfortunately the HotU server typically lags. A lot. You either have to be very lucky or very patient. <p><hr />

But why bother! Buy a real flying carpet! Those things are far much more fun and have comical expressive gestures as seen in the Aladin Movie.

In the meantime, I also recommend an old DOS game called Master of Magic. I don't really have a link at this time, but most people I've had play it liked it.

[E Mouse]

I've actually played that one.

I sucked at it since I was too nice and too much of a wuss to play against decent computers, but it was entertaining.

Slingers away!~ <p><hr />
