Excellent classic 8-bit RPG
I paid significantly more than the current price to back the Nox Archaist Kickstarter project and it was well worth the money and the wait. At this price, there's no excuse not to give it a shot. As others have said, this game looks and feels like a classic Ultima game from the '80s and is better in many ways. Check out the screenshots. If you've ever played and enjoyed a game that looks similar to those, you'll enjoy this one while losing many hours adventuring. Most of the nox (err, knocks) on the game in other reviews have more to do with the Apple II environment rather than the game itself. Yes, Apple II color graphics are a bit quirky and limited, and it takes serious effort to get more than basic beeps and buzzes out of an Apple II speaker, but this game really pushes the limits. It's seriously amazing what the team managed to do given the ancient (uh, classic) 8-bit computer system they chose for the design. However, their choice also means you can run this game on a real Apple II computer for the full hit of nostalgia if you so desire. It IS an actual Apple II game, not just designed to look like one. The bundled emulator that allows this game to run on modern computers does a decent job of providing the look and feel of the real thing while also making it simple to start and play the game. However, I feel some of the control lag and sluggishness is due to the emulator itself. If it's enough to bother you, load the actual disk image (the HDV file) into your Apple II emulator of choice and play the game that way. (I recommend AppleWin with the video mode set to Color TV. Bump up the emulation speed a bit if it still seems sluggish. Very nice.) Although not essential, the recently released official Nox Archaist Book of Hints is also well-designed and worthy of adding to your collection. I would recommend the printed book version over the PDF just for the experience, but the content is the same either way. "Such A Deal!"
