Windows Vista has some problems running current games, so imagine "how well" it can run old MS-DOS titles (tip: forget about it ;)

The other day, remembering old games I didn't finished and I sould have, I remembered that I've played Ultima VIII far more than Ultima VII (yeah, I'm ashamed), so I searched for a solution to install it on my laptop (which runs Windows Vista now).

After some work, I found Exult, a marvelous open-source engine that runs both Ultima VII: The Black Gate and it's expansion Ultima VII: Part Two - Serpent Isle.
Apart from some tweaks, cheat modes/debug modes, new options and a few bug fixes, the most important feature is that it allows to run the game windowed and in almost every resolution.

So, if you wanna save Britannia as the Avatar in one of the best RPGs out there, give this a try ;)

A MMORPG about World of Darkness, the vampires and werewolves world from White Wolf, is on the way. Let's see how it ends, it's a good franchise.

UPDATE: Years later, small bits of info. The most interesting ones, that you can stay human, thee will be humanity points (and can both lose and win them) and (where the interesting point comes) there will be permadeath of your characters.If your vampire dies, it stays dead. How will permadeath work in a MMORPG? We'll see... someday!

People sometimes gets crazy about making mini-games with flash.

The Murlog RPG is one good example.



Take wow gamestyle and GFX, put it in 2D and make an RPG game with incredible graphics and long gameplay (you can even save the game). Talents, levels, items and treasures...

If you like RPGs you should try, but if you like Wow you must try it.

Thanks to Kuuu for the URL :)
