Perndog This wasn't Wizardry. It was something entirely different by the same developer who thought they could sell a few extra copies by tacking the name Wizardry on it.

Helm Or some of the Tex Murphy games.

And Wizardry is not an adventure game.

executioneer never played phantasmagoria eh

Perndog I don't think any other adventure games exist with such an ungodly number of discs.

Read thread, k thx. I'm still really amazed that Perndog was able to help out with that. I really had very little memory to go on, and he just nailed. it.

And thanks for the help, Willie. Now I need to find my 7th Guest CD.

I THINK it was a first-person view. I remember it came on 6 or 7 CDs, each one used for a new area you'd visit. I remember little mushroom monsters that would attack you early on.

executioneer in case you need it (you prob. wont but w/e)

executioneer yeah, it should- if it doesn't, make a shortcut to it first and do it to the shortcut maybe :/

but if the problem is it's going too fast, you might want to try some sort of slowdown program for windows, i think i remember getting good results with one called TURBO when i was trying to get Quest for Glory 4 to run

James k, so how exactly do you play CD games on emulation? Particularly if I want to play them solely from the hard drive?

I have a few old games (legit) that I'd like to install and play, but my computer's too high-performance for them. I know you can play Dos games on a dos emulator, but how do you emulate an older computer if the games use Windows?

AChimp He'll still take the infant.
Dec 17th, 2004 10:09 AM
Perndog I have the game. It does suck. Never, ever play it, except as a taste of revolutionary cutting-edge graphics from 1996. And if cutting edge mid-90s graphics are what you want, stick with Myst.

Alternately, if anyone really wants to play it, I will burn you a copy for five bucks plus shipping.
Dec 17th, 2004 09:59 AM
AChimp Perndog used his devil magics to divine that name for you. You owe him one infant.

Now if only I could find it for download. Not that I even know how to do emulation for CD games, especially one that came on so many CDs.

I wish I could say "You all should check out this awesome game," but I hardly got a chance to play it, so it could very well suck. And I don't even know where to find it. Underdogs doesn't have it.

Supafly345 Christ you guys, it was SMB:FPS. After all of those "strafe, jump, strafe, coin" jokes that littered every damn game magazine, who could forget that travesty? Hopping was never meant as a pick-up weapon.

AChimp Riven didn't have monsters.
Dec 16th, 2004 11:27 AM
Ninjavenom You're not thinking of Riven, are you?
Dec 16th, 2004 10:15 AM
Perndog Nemesis: The Wizardry Adventure.
Dec 16th, 2004 08:42 AM
McMock From the amount of CD's I'd be inclined to say Baldurs Gate, but that's definately not a first person game. Try using mobygames to find it.
Dec 16th, 2004 08:25 AM
Mad Melvin Realms of Haunting? That was more like a FPS/Adventure though.
Dec 16th, 2004 07:50 AM
FS The only adventure games I know that came on so many CDs were Gabriel Knight 2 and Phantasmagoria 1.

Was it Shivers maybe? I never played that one, but I remember from reviews that it had both video material and animated creatures like wood-ghosts or something.
Dec 16th, 2004 07:14 AM
Helm I think I know every pc adventure game there is and this probably aint one. Although I do admit on the multimedia craze I kinda slipped out so maybe it is an adventure game. Doesn't even ring the slightest bell, sorry.
