So you're aware, while Defias Pillager currently tops the list of all-time causes of death in PC gaming courtesy of World of Warcraft exploding and somebody not understanding how math worked, The Moat Of Castle Daventry claimed an easy victory for the first ~15 years of video game history. Y'see, once upon a time, you pushed arrow button to move, and you needed to push arrow button in another direction to stop moving. Leaving Castle Daventry, you had about a quarter of a second to press left, or else fall into the moat and die. Entering Castle Daventry, you had about a quarter of a second to press up, or else fall into the moat and die. These games defined PC gaming for a decade. Castle Daventry never stopped killing people.

It has a cool concept and the "you're gonna get killed until you figure out the right combos" thing manages to hit the Dark Soulsian sweet spot: courtesy of the timer, most of the time you feel like you've learned something when you die. This is not a trait king's quest games before or since possessed.

Bregor posted:Man, Cedric is pretty racist but the game itself is worse. The nah, that part of the genie mythos is actually more accurate to the original see, the djinni kind of occupy a similar role in arabic/islamic mythology to the one Lucifer has in european/christian mythology: they were created first, they have awesome supernatural powers, and they are PISSED at the fact that God decided to favor man over them. there was a war. they lost. but powerful wizards bound some rebellious djinn into common objects, and for use as servants. as powerful wizards are wont to do, they then proceeded to lose them, create a thousand more, and just leave 'em lying around. Disney actually inverted the way the story's supposed to go, because the genie story's supposed to go first wish timid, second wish bold, third wish AMAZING- and then learning why you don't know anybody who got all their amazing worldly power through their three wishes. because if your third wish isn't "Back to your lamp, and await your next master?" a djinn, freed from hundreds of years of slavery and itty-bitty living space, is freed to take his revenge on humanity. traditionally this involves setting you on fire and hurling you into the stratosphere while screaming "ROUND TWO, BITCH" at God.
