For old school RPGs lovers
I've only been playing for a couple of days, but as somebody who's been playing video game RPGs since the 80s, I'm already hooked on Nox Archaist. The game really does feel like a CRPG from 40 years ago. I miss these kind of games where the focus is on adventure, discovery, and exploration, instead of on graphics. So glad I found this!

I don't think you get it...
Nox Archaist is a technical marvel that only an Apple ][ designer would understand. People don't seem to realize this, and it's creation is entertainingly documented in the making of DLC book available. If you don't 'get' the old school look and feel, or quibble about the limitations of the Apple ][ environment, then you're not understanding just what's in front of you. I suggest you read the making of, and see the tribulations involved in building this game. You will come away with a better appreciation for what exactly you have here - an unbridled labor of love that posthumously earns it's place not only in the technical feats of platform, but also in the pantheon of classic RPG's that would have been a bonified hardware seller.
