So it may seem funny I haven't branched out more but the games came out in that sweet spot of life after I had gotten a computer and before high school got too busy with academic work. In my nostalgic middle age (I've just been named an 'oldf_g' and this is literally the case as far as being old for here...) I've enjoyed modern 'spiritual successors' like Avernum 1, 2, and 3, and have made a few small FRUA mods. Does anyone have any recommendations for any other games I'd enjoy?
I also played Eye of the Beholder 1-3, Dragon Wars, and DOOM (different genre, I know, though I think a DOOM conversion for FRUA would be hilarious if I had the time). Still not as much fun as trading off Short Sword +4 and Two-Handed Sword +2 for small and big monsters and sending my wizards to the edges of the combat map while my fighters engage the enemy.
Also, I'm thinking about doing a single-character Let's Play of Pool of Radiance just to show how it can be done (though I've had issues with the engine behaving strangely). Probably HTML as my attempts to record video using DOSBox have produced multi-gigabyte files that are hard to manipulate. Any advice on that--I understand (from a prior attempt) I am supposed to put the pics on imgur?
