Updated for Ultima Maps

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 playing them over and over working on getting higher scores. The game was a blast to play and i must say it looks and plays beautiful. I highly recommend it if your in the mood for a shooter. Best thing it only cost under $14.00. Here's a few screen shots of the end credits. http://img41.imagesh...357/ending1.png http://img843.images...72/ending2t.png http://img17.imagesh...237/ending3.png

Thank you very much. That's how I am. I love collecting for all the systems instead of focusing on a few.

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. Go to the link below to take a look at it. http://atariage.com/forums/topic/192830-official-re-model-of-cncfreaks-gameroom-041013/

Bump for complete remodel of gameroom

Room has been painted and the fun has now began. I've started moving my stuff into the room.

I was thinking $30-$35 for normal price and $50-$60 for free lifetime upgrades. I hear HDDriver is a breeze to get up and running and that's one of the major reasons i lean toward it but again the price is rather high. With all the money i am currently putting into getting my game room up and going, I really have to watch what i spend now.

I also received mine today. I've got a 1040ST (Tos 1.00) and Mega ST4 (Tos 1.02) what would you recommend i use to create the sd partitions HDDRIVER or ICD?

I love the Ultima Series but I definitely spent more time playing the Might & Magic series (not counting 9). This is very very exciting news and can't wait. Cncfreak

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 be played via Flash on a web browser. As far as i can tell the game has endless dungeons. I'm currently on level 57. It can get a little repetitive but for what it is, it's a great way to get a little gaming in when you only have a few minutes. At this point I am currently going for rank where i am currently 201 out of 24500 on Gamecenter on the iPhone.

I'll have to hire someone to do it since I have no handyman magic at all.

Hehe thanks so much for helping me out with my game room.

A few new things added.

Been a LONG WHILE BUMP.. If anyone is local (Central Florida / Zephyrhills) i have tons of other things (Vintage computers, Action Figures, Comics) if someone wanted to take a look.

Yeah I limited my playing time to about 1-2 hours a play session which allowed me not to succumb to the repetition.

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 fantasy world, slaying hundreds of monsters, casting spells and gathering experience points and valuable items. The story is as simple as it is in the game's predecessors: you are a humble, yet unnamed farmer, whose lands are devastated by the evil Krug. Of course, you can't let this just happen to you, so you set for revenge... Where Diablo (and Diablo II) had hand-drawn or pre-rendered graphics, Dungeon Siege takes the 3D approach. The entire world is rendered in real time, and there is no loading between levels - since there are no levels. It's more like the Ultima 7/8 games, where you have one gigantic world plane to roam. As already expected, there are literally hundreds of monsters already awaiting our farmer, and of course there are many different weapons and items for him (or his party members) to acquire. This as well is a different approach - you can have a real party, all controlled by yourself (or your multiplayer friends, for that matter). And here are a few screenshots from the last battle: http://img90.imagesh.../dsiegeend1.jpg http://img22.imagesh.../dsiegeend2.jpg http://img210.images.../dsiegeend3.jpg

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 player explores the mansion, he discovers that there is a killer murdering each guest one by one. The objective of the game is to figure out who the murderer is before the murderer finds the hero. Players explore and manipulate objects by typing in one or two-word phrases such as "north" or "get knife". The graphics are very simple but for 1980 this is a truly monumental game and is still a great classic. Here is a screen shot of the ending. http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/5599/a2mysteryend.png

Definitely did. I've never been good at adventure games but i love the story and experience of playing them.
