Cybergoth Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Hi there! This just came in: http://www.siliconera.com/2013/03/15/dungeons-dragons-shadow-over-mystara-tower-of-doom-are-coming-to-ps3-and-xbox-360/ Great news, the next day 1 purchase for me! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taskmaster99 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Excellent!!!!!!! This will save alot of wear and tear on my Saturn. Hands down one of my favorite games I have imported over the years. Too bad they never released it in the U.S. In fact most of my japanese Saturn games might have helped this system out if they came over here imo. Thanks for the heads up on this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Algus Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Also a day 1 purchase for me. Shadows took so many quarters from me. But my friends and I killed the dragon and ruled the high score list! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Figures. Just a few months after I plunk down $200 to buy the Saturn compilation and a 4M RAM cart for a friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybercylon Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Too bad you won't be able to play then on your PS4/next xbox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 Too bad you won't be able to play then on your PS4/next xbox. Why would you think that? Just wondering, it seems for example that Wiiware can easily get transfered from Wii to WiiU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybercylon Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Why would you think that? Just wondering, it seems for example that Wiiware can easily get transfered from Wii to WiiU. I am making a guess with the next xbox, but Sony has already said no BC for the PS4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taskmaster99 Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Too bad you won't be able to play then on your PS4/next xbox. That had crossed my mind. Thankful that I have the Saturn version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 I am making a guess with the next xbox, but Sony has already said no BC for the PS4. Oh, I didn't know that the PS4 will be generally incompatible. But on the XBOX it shouldn't be a problem I think, that would basically be just like an upgrade from one PC to another, no? All plain theory though, practically I don't ever give a working console away, so I can just play it on the PS3 for years to come Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cimerians Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 I predict the news on the next Xbox is really going to suck. Hopefully it won't and I pray they prove me wrong but I have a bad feeling. Don't care though, I've decided I'm keeping my 360 and PS3 hooked up indefinitely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BydoEmpire Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Haven't played anything on 360 in a while, but I might have to pick these up. Thanks for the heads up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybergoth Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 There's currently another hot rumour circulating that Capcom may also announce something Strider related for XBLA this weekend: http://gamefront.de/...rider-xbla.html (Just an image linked from a german page) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algus Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 The more the consoles look towards crippling DRM, the more compelled I am to just switch to PC. PC games might have some pretty bad DRM, but at least there's tons of cheap indy titles that are awesome. And Steam actually runs sales on their platform. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightSprinter Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Really looking forward to these coming out. For those that've only played D&D 3rd Edition or later, these two games are based on 2nd Edition. Also, based on what was nicknamed "Original D&D" (where dwarves, elves, and halflings were considered classes instead of races, and a few other things were simplified some) expect some pretty brutal enemies and traps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabriel Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 For those that've only played D&D 3rd Edition or later, these two games are based on 2nd Edition. That's pretty meaningless for games like these. They're button mashers with a coat of thematic paint. About all it really means is that Displacer Beasts actually look like big badass panthers instead of wet and starving housecats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightSprinter Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Maybe so, but some actual strategies for certain monsters in the tabletop games do apply in the arcade games. Two examples are as follows: Displacer Beasts only project a shadow on the real enemy, not its copy (even in MAME, pay attention to the two). Same for beholders in the second game, as both the various eyes can cancel magic from in front and hit with various effects (such as Hold Person, Touch of Death, or Flesh to Stone). It's not as simple as you might think.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algus Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I just remember the troll boss where if you don't kill him with fire you have to keep fighting till NPCs help. And Classic D&D is <3. I finally talked my group into trying it and it was brutal. One guy went through 4 characters in one adventure lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightSprinter Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Won't say which of the two games, what the boss' name is, or where in the game he's found, but if he captures a player just don't attack him. I do believe he's another monster where the real game's tactics come into play (attack him, and you damage your partner instead). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VW Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 This has been announced as coming out on Steam as well, the thread title should be changed to reflect this. I may have to try this out, I only know this game by reputation but it seems to have a good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taskmaster99 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Hooked up the Saturn and started playing this again to get my skills back. Cannot believe we have to wait until June. Seems so far away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
