Serblander Posted July 8, 2004 Share Posted July 8, 2004 Hello I was wondering if anyone can help me out with info on this game. I have the sequel to this (Wizard's Crown) on my ST and now MUST play the original. So, I am also looking to get this game (Complete ONLY) from somewhere/someone. First of all, i have a 65XEGS. I know this game comes on disk(s) so i am also looking to get a disk drive. So my questions are as follows: - Can this game be played on the 65XEGS or is it for the 800 only? (i know very little about the different 8-Bit systems) - What disk drive would i need to get? - Does anyone have the complete game for trade or sale? As always, any imput is highly appreciatd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deathtrappomegranate Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 I used to have this game CIB, but I sold it on ebay a few months ago, so I can't check it out for you. IIRC I tested it with an 800xl and a 1050, but it was a while back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Jefferson Posted July 9, 2004 Share Posted July 9, 2004 I remember playing this game, and I don't recall having to use a translator disk, so you should be fine on a XE machine. For some reason I think that Wizard's Crown was the first game and The Eternal Dagger was the second? Anyway, I don't have the original, just a copy.

Zone Ranger Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 you are correct. Wizard's Crown was the first game and The Eternal Dagger was the second. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velcro_SP Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Yes, that is my understanding that WC was the first one, and ED the second and last one. I bought one of these on EBay last year but the disks were faulty (I did not blame the seller, in my estimation it was just age). They are supposed to be about the most complex, involved RPGs for the Atari 8bit. Not much in the way of graphics, but if you want a detailed, early D&D experience with advanced character statistics and so on, and are ready to devote some time to it, they might be rewarding. They are multicharacter, which was sort of unusual for Atari 8bit RPGs. It would be neat if someone was able to put one of these on a ROM and make it a bit more user-friendly, eliminate disk-swapping, or clean it up for an emulator in some way. PS: there is one for Atari ST and one for DOS on eBay right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serblander Posted August 15, 2004 Author Share Posted August 15, 2004 Yay! I FINALLY got a complete (almost Mint) Eternal Dagger! The only problem now is... well, i still don't have a disk drive for my XE so i can't play it. Anyone have a Disk Drive that can be used on a 65XEGS for sale/trade? Anyone... Help me AtariAgers... you're my only hope... ( ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cybernoid Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 Anyone have a Disk Drive that can be used on a 65XEGS for sale/trade? Anyone... I have several 1050 drives here (Dallas, Tx) in great working order that I have been meaning to find a good home. I don't know what shipping to Australia would be yet, but if no one closer to ya pipes up, let me know. Would be happy to see it find a good home... ~~C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
