Cybergoth Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Hi there! Which of the two do you like better? Greetings, Manuel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochman Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 I get these 2 mixed up but for palyability the later Epyx release is easier to play and a little more fun IMHO. The original however has some 'Charm' to it with the Curse of Ra episodes and such. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nukey Shay Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 Trilogy. I grew up with the slower Basic versions, and it was nice to see the old turn-based RPG's updated. And it was easier to control than GTA, since the latter had everything assigned to the function keys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted July 11, 2004 Author Share Posted July 11, 2004 Hi there! I'm a still very uncertain about what to think about the trilogy. Maybe because I don't have found a manual so far. I don't seem to get the point of it. Is there any "higher" goal you have to achieve, or are you just a tomb raider, doing one haul after another? So for example I find it most irritating that you can choose any of the 12 dungeon levels straight away. I mean Gateway is easy to understand, you enter a dungeon and have to fight your way down level by level, but in the trilogy it all looks a bit pointless, or what am I missing here?

Nukey Shay Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 The point is the same as pretty much any open-ended game...to amass the most wealth (i.e. points). Since some actions or objects will increase your stats, the secondary objective would be to work on those, I guess. Once all the stats are 18 or above, and you find magical weapons, the game becomes a bit easy...so you could play the game without increasing your stats at all to make it more challenging. IMO the ultimate goal is to use a computer-generated character to visit every room and collect every treasure in each of the 12 dungeons (monster speed fast). It's not so easy. But on the upside, some of the most lethal characters won't appear unless you set off a trap. The manual is irrelivant. All it contains is the text descriptions for each of the rooms. The room layout is NOT included (so you'd have to map it yourself anyway). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
