Luckily I'll be recording everything, so I can reference it later for the password in case I write it down incorrectly. Faxanadu is another game I remember writing passwords incorrectly.

However, my CRPG backlog is already impressive, and it's hard to start on such an old school series. Any idea on where to start? People seem to indicate one of 4, 5, 6, or 7 as the best of the series. Still, I think I'm going to start Risen soon. Ultima is likely on the backburner.killias2https://www.blogger.com/profile/00398131197947456691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946916641850178817.post-82670687541032404462012-03-10T12:23:27.455-08:002012-03-10T12:23:27.455-08:00Willow!

At least for this one since it's a much shorter, and easier, game. The NES port tried to change too much. It wouldn't surprise me if the US release was just a translation of the Japanese release instead of getting the dialogue from the PC game.Zenic Reveriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16441583549326102945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4946916641850178817.post-40431329020678165542012-03-10T08:42:23.549-08:002012-03-10T08:42:23.549-08:00Oh yeah, I guess I should have been more explicit ...Oh yeah, I guess I should have been more explicit in that first description.
