Oooh! Iremember these.

The reason for 'Adventure Journals' was also for DRM. You had to generally use a phrase from one of the journals to boot up the game to start/continue it where it would call from a random passage.

I fortunately was exposed to the Gold Box engine through the Buck Rogers games, and you realize real quick the range on grenades, rocket launchers, and plasma casters. It's the same radius that gets used in D&D, although an indoors Fireball is the only one I know of that does Plasma Caster radius.

The Buck Rogers games were fun. At least did the first one on the Genesis, never did the DOS ones.
