Not cracked

Enter a wrong manual reference 3 times and you can't save your game and the game quits. How can you sell a non-cracked DOS game?

Simply Awful

I don't know why people are rating this "game" as good. It is clunky, badly implemented and without any meaningful help from the manual at all. I wasted a whole day trying to figure it out and found it a frustrating experience that had me wanting to throw the damn thing against the wall. Character creation is a tedious process that is painful to endure. It is like the programmers wanted to design the most annoying way of doing things ever. Each character requires a specific set of statistics and if you don't happen to roll those you are wasting your time. Not only this, but you are required to allocate each number as it is rolled, which means that you have no flexibility and you are forced to gamble on your allocation, knowing that a better roll might just be around the corner. After you have generated stats, you are required to allocate skills, but even this isn't guaranteed, which meant that my mage ended up wasting five of his ten skill picks simply because the dice rolls to get the skills didn't come through. Scratch one mage. The manual is absolutely useless. Spells are mostly given stupid names that give you no idea of what they actually do and there is no attempt anywhere to try and explain it. Seriously, WTF does "Necropathia Putrid Head" even mean, let alone do? I gave up on the game after getting into my first dungeon trying to figure out what spell I needed to cast in order to be able to see. Whatever it is called, it isn't "Light". There are a heap of spells in the game, but why waste investing in them if you can't tell what they actually do? You'll like this game if you are the sort of person who enjoys banging their head against a brick wall, or if you like figuring out games without any meaningful input. But If you just want to have fun I'd suggest that you find some other game.

Realms 1 & 2

I downloaded this games with high hopes- Reams Of Arkania III is a true Masterpiece and about the only game I still recall from my youth. For those who know, and actually manage to master them they are the deepest most immersive Old school RPGs avaialbe. BUT they dont work at all- DOS-Box cant make them run on a modern day PC Too bad- Its the first Gog game I cant get running.
