Wizardry was great. I’ll never understand how I lived in one of those ultra religious eighties homes that wouldn’t let me play D&D but wizardry, Ultima, and bards tale were just fine.

Some games really needed manuals to play. That’s what text files were for.

You can only move pieces to squares with pictures of crosswalks on them.

This was an exceptionally difficult game from the very first scene. You were particularly hard pressed to even make it off earth if you hadn’t read the book.

After that, it didn’t necessarily coincide with the book, so you had to put yourself into a Douglas Adams mindset for the duration, and that was no easy task.

I think I may have gotten through roughly a third of it before moving on to other games.

Zork was the other game I never did particularly well with. I think I got a little further in it than hitchhikers though.

I had one two and three but don’t recall playing the latter two. By then I’d moved on to the greatest game released in the mid-eighties - Autoduel.

Then it was on to the original Bard’s Tale.

I played both of those to completion then figured out how to cheat on both by finding character stats with a sector editor.

Wow. I used to use a sector editor on floppy disks to cheat on games way back in the eighties by looking for player stats and abilities and whatnot. I had no idea that modern day cheating would be so similar to the rudimentary stuff I was doing nearly forty years ago.
