I've decided to play Rogue again. I've never beat it but it's always fun to run-through and see how far i can get. There will be no backing saves up when one character dies, another one is created. Oh and i will be naming my characters after people on Atari-Age who have bought items from me.
First up was SEgamer:
I made it all the way to level 7 but in the end i ran out of food and kept fainting until i stumbled across a zombie which slayed me. It's pretty crazy how much you faint
I burned through quite a few characters this time. First up was save2600:
Things were going fairly well until i hit level 4. I entered a room with a slime and started attacking it.
But i kept missing and it kept splitting. Needless to say i was overwhelmed with slimes and succumbed
to them.
Next up was ianoid:
I made it all the way to level 8 but through out my adventure ran into quite a few rattlesnakes. Just so
you know rattlesnakes poison you which lowers your strength by one.
I played a couple sessions tonight:
First up was evilgonzo. Unfortunately i only made it to level 4 and was quickly surrounded
by a dividing slime and killed.
Last up was ghost1313. I made it all the way to level 10. On level 3 i had a small mishap
where i read a random scroll which put me to sleep. A kestral came along and started beating
on me. Fortunately I woke up and was able to kill it. From levels 3-8 i fought many rattlesnakes
but kept getting poisoned which took my s
Welp my first RPG of the year that I've completed and I can honestly say it's been a blast. I've played Dungeon Siege multiple times over the years
but never completed it and I can finally mark if off my list. It took a little over 23 hours for me to complete.
Here's an introduction from Moby Games:
Dungeon Siege is a direct descendant of the grandfather of all of today's Hack'n'Slay "roleplaying" games, Diablo. In Dungeon Siege, you control
one or more heroes in a gigantic 3D modeled f
Here's a game I played a ton in high school when there was free time in the computer lab. Again i never beat it. Transylvania was released in
1982 for the Apple II computer system and many more through out the years. I decided to play the 1986 double hi-res version for the Apple II.
Here's an Intro via Moby Games:
Transylvania is an adventure with optional graphics, and a VERB NOUN interface. Two weeks ago, Princess Sabrina suddenly vanished and
remained unseen since. King John the Go
Mystery House has been deemed the first graphic adventure. Released in 1980 by Ken and Roberta Williams of On-line Systems, later to be called
Sierra Online. Not much I can say about the game. You basically have to work your way around the house and figure out who the killer is before they
get you.
Here is a small description via Moby Games:
Mystery House is a four-color interactive fiction adventure game that places the player in a Victorian mansion with seven other people. As the pl

A few months ago I picked up three Sony PVM monitors 2 20" and 1 14". One of 20" monitors has a few issues but the other looks great. The 14" also is great but lacks RGB. I recently purchased an Apple IIgs SCART cable from Roger on Vintageware and got it yesterday. I must say I am very impressed and the Apple II games have never looked better. I didn't get a chance to snap a pic of a GS game but here is Dragon Wars for the Apple IIe/c. Below is Roger's site to order one.

Thought I would chime in on a game i've been playing on and off for the last few weeks. The game is called Bit Dungeon.
It's a mix of Legend of Zelda dungeons (nes) and Rogue. You basically explore a dungeon level collecting money, gear and
health / magic potions and fight various monsters. At the end of each level you fight a boss. Unfortunately there are only a
few different bosses so they end of repeating when you get in a few levels. It's currently available for the iOS and also can
Me and the wife had a great time at Supercon in Miami and today after we got back I
was able to play a couple games.
First up is abc_kid:
On level 3 after having a couple tough battles, I fell into a trap which took me down to 1 hp.
I was able to survive after waiting around for my hit points to regen. On level 6 after fighting
multiple rattlesnakes, my str dropped down to 11 out of 17. Again i was able to survive and
continued. Finally a rattlesnake finished me off after it dropped
I had a chance to play a couple more sessions:
First up was sloopy. I thought i would try something different for this character. I would do a
speed run. Instead of mapping out every room, as soon as i found the stairs i would take them
and descend as fast as I could. It didn't work out that well but it was worth a shot. On level 5
I was surrounded by slimes and barely survived them but a zombie appeared and finished me off.
Next up was unholy:
It seems this scenario has happen
I didn't have much luck today but here are today's entries:
First up was Bryan:
Thing were going ok until i made it to level 7 where i got trapped between a rattlesnake and
slime and the slime ended up killing me.
Next up was 19Echo:
Poor fellow couldn't get off level 1 and was the quickest death so far. Remember the saying
trapped between a rock and a hard place, well he got trapped between an orc and a bat and
survived with 1 hit point but a kestral showed up and ended the part
Just one entry for today:
The legendary the.golden.ax gets his turn:
As always the rattlesnake bites really did a number on me. By level 7 they had my strength
down to 5. On level 9 i ran into the mysterious Quagga again and was able to defeat it, but
with my hit points low a centaur jumped me and did me in.
And the high scores:
Was able to run three characters today and one has gotten the top score:
First up was toiletunes:
Unfortunately i put on cursed (-2) leather and on level 3 was killed by a dividing slime.
Next up was jkonstan:
Unfortunately after some bad luck, I was again killed by a slime on level 2.
Last up was frankodragon:
I had alot of success with him. I found a few enchant weapon and enchant armor scrolls. I also
found a ring of slow digestion which makes you consume food much slowe
I was able to play two characters tonight:
First up was accousticguitar:
Unfortunately on level 4, I got surrounded by slimes and they did me in.
Next up was Rockin Kat:
I got pretty far with this one. I was able to stay away from rattlesnakes and found leather armor
that I enchanted once so i didn't have to worry about Aquator's destroying it. I also found a longsword
and enchanted it. On level 10 i was able to kill 2 quaggas. Unfortunately i had over 1100 gold but
accidently ra
Thought I would mention on here that in two months I've been able to get 100 subscribers.
In celebration I am giving two PS2 RPG's away to one lucky winner. All you need to do is
be a subscriber to my channel and post in the comments to the below video on what game
have you logged the most play time (On Youtube not the Blog Comments). Give me the name
of the game and how many hours you've played it. Single player games only. I'll be drawing
a name this Sunday (March 2nd).
The second game I beat for 2014 is Final Fantasy: All the Bravest.
It was definitely a swipe-fest but I don't have the hate most people do for it.
Even though it has the Final Fantasy name, it really isn't that great an entry for the series.
You play through a series of battles traveling to various locales to do said battles.
One thing it does have going for it are the retro graphics and Final Fantasy music.
And here is the video showing the defeat of the final boss and end credits, enjoy.
I took a few days off but i'm back with another entry. I only have one entry this time.
Coolhand20th is up:
Things were going great. i found a suit of leather armor and found two enchant armor scrolls
as well as a couple enchant weapon scrolls. Unfortunately on level 9 i got cornered by a centaur
and orc and the centaur killed me.
And here is the high score:
This completion was a long time coming. I started Torchlight 2 back in 2013 with my wife.
She didn't like it alot but kept playing to entertain me lol. Finally this week she said
"Just complete it, don't wait for me so I decided to give it a go. I was at the very end of
Act III so I was able to finish it in one sitting. On my Youtube channel I also have the last
few boss battles as well.
Torchlight II is a Hack n' Slash / Action RPG in the same family as Diablo III. As most, th
The main reason i haven't finished anymore games was because i've been working on finishing up my new game room and tonight i finally finished it.

Well I went to Gamestop today and picked up a few games. One was Akai Katana. I had heard great things about it and wanted to try it out even though i've never
been good at those type of games. Those type of games are "Bullet Hell Shooters". Millions of bullets coming at you in a certain pattern and it's your job to figure it
out how to avoid taking damage. Akai Katana isn't very long. I was able to beat it in under an hour but it's never about longevity with this type of shooters but pl
Now here's a game it took a little while to beat. This is Titan Attacks. A great retro looking shooter.
This is Space Invaders with power ups and boss fights. I really suck at it but finally managed to get
to the last world but could never get over the hump. Then my hard drive crashes on my laptop and I
lose my save. A couple days ago I re-install it and bam I made it to level 100 and then beat the final boss.
Unfortunately, the game starts back on level 1 once you complete it like
Welp last year I was only able to beat 7 games. Pretty piss poor I must say, but we'll see how 2014 treats me.
Also last week I started my very own You Tube channel. One of my goals is to try and get 50 subscribers.
We'll see how it goes.

I thought I would never do it but I've gone and done it. I've posted my first pickups video. Last week I ordered a Blue Snowball Mic from Amazon and it came in on Friday. Mustering my nerve I went and created a video where I actually show myself and talk. I was nervous as hell at first but once I got a few minutes in, it got easier.

Another game bites the dust. This one is call Word Realms. It's a word game where you go on an adventure to defeat the evil Dark Lord who is terrorizing a kingdom.
This was a successful Kickstarter project from last year.
Here's a quote from there website that wraps it up nicely. "A single-player roleplaying video game where your weapons are words. "
You travel around on a map completing quests, clicking on destinations and defeating foes with words. Each area also has a boss. Th
