90s style RPG. The site is currently down as Notch just tweeted about them.

    Oh man, I was recently thinking of trying to dig out all of my old Gold Box games and give them a whirl again.

    I never liked the 90s RPGs because they kicked my ass so hard. Does this at least ease the foot in gently?

    from that video, seems to be heavily influenced by the Dungeon Master games.

    imo if you're going to create a game in the vein of a 90's RPG, it ought to be Ultima Underworld or Ultima 7. Although they had a lot more to them so they would be harder to emulate.

    This game looks exactly like Dungeon Master.
    They even copied the magic system.

    This reminded me of the old Eye of the Beholder games, which I played a teeny tiny bit of way back. I've started up a party for the first game :o Long term plan of playing through all of them, but not sure I can keep at it though.

    Pretty neat how the game is pretty much just an electronic version of the roleplaying game, to the point that you must either be familiar with D&D beforehand or read through the manual in order to know what all the races, classes, spells and abilities do (because there are no tooltips at all!)

    Also I'm kind of surprised at some of the game mechanics in that game. Point and click at levers, hidden buttons, putting items on pressure switches. Somewhat advanced considering the time these games where made.
