That is, if you exclude Akalabeth: World of Doom (which I don’t know was ever officially ported to the PC), and Escape from Mount Drash (which was an unofficial horrible VIC-20 game produced by Sierra in a time when they didn’t realize what ‘intellectual property rights’ really […]

Hegemony: Philip of Macedon on Sale via Steam

Posted by Rampant Coyote on December 30, 2010

As a game developer, I have grave misgivings over the extreme-discount sales popularized by places like Steam that practically give away reasonably recent indie releases. But as a customer, I’ll take what I can get and get over my guilt later. Anyway, until about 11:00 AM my time (mountain), Hegemony: Philip of Macedon is on […]

The Temple of Elemental Evil

Posted by Rampant Coyote on October 13, 2010

Well, GOG.COM is kinda fulfilling my dream scenarios on making old RPGs available, so I guess I’m finally forgiving them on the whole faking-their-own-death thing. This week seems to be about encouraging me to re-buy games I already own. This week’s double-dose offering includes Betrayal in Antarna as a free addition to Betrayal at Krondor… […]

Posted by Rampant Coyote on August 8, 2010

Cheap entertainment just got cheaper. Oliveair Games’ Eternal Twilight is now only $10.99. I guess with the savings you can buy a bag of chips to go with it. Though the game will probably still last longer. Check out Eternal Twilight here!
