  1. HOMM5 Alpha Screenshots

    Nice pics--and not too Etherlord-ish. Great linkage to the euro-world. Read a neat quote from one of the main guys at Nival after they were 'acquired' by the big techie company that bought them as to how they didn't have a problem with making pc games because while consoles were the big coming...

  2. Company News Atari doing GREAT

    Atari is the perfect example of name brand recognition marketing --a large group of bean-counters advising a larger group of suits to buy a well-known name (Coleman, Troybuilt, Betty Crocker, etc ad nauseum) make a cheap & dirty somewhat similar product, and market it under the aegis of a...

  3. HOMM5 FAQ at Official page

    from the faq: Interesting take on accelerating the gameplay. The early battles didn't seem to drag all that much to me, but scaling the hexes to numbers of stacks might be okay. Hopefully it won't effect the element of strategy involved in the timing and sequence of unit attacks. To me it...

  4. Arcanum: of Steamworks and Magick Obscura

    Arcanum is fairly flawless for me, except for the stingy amount of points at level-up. I've lurked a lot of sites, and this top ten game thing comes up a lot--and it's cool but I wonder why--considering the general level of bitchiness amongst gamers--we don't more often see the ten worst games...

  5. Oh No!!! 10 More years of D&D at Atari...

    I seem to remember quite a series of threads where Bryce777 and Volourn "discussed " his millionaire status. Sorry if you lost the cash B. but money can't buy everything, especially poverty.

  6. Heroes 5 vs Disciples

    I beg your pardon. I have all my hair.

  7. Heroes 5 vs Disciples

    Have any of you HOMM5 newswatchers caught anything about a map editor for the new game? To my mind, it was a major strength. (In fact, I'm still making, playing and downloading fan maps for a game whose entire company is defunct.) I haven't noticed anything in the previews I've read that...

  8. Obsidian: Closure of Forums

    just a word from a lurker--this is the only board i've seen that can render volourn at least temporarily speechless-major accomplishment. as far as more stringent protocol and moderation needing to be required by "official" forums--that never seemed to bother the Atari people(...can you say...

  9. RPG Combat...uh...huh?

    I'm not a regular here, just cruising thru after midnite, but i am a turn-based fanboi and i am all for depth. As i see it, FO was RPG depth-story and dialogue and combat combined into the whole, not just TB combat glorified. Turn based combat allows for choice and strategy, whereas real time...

  10. Development Info Second ToEE path details

    "Infinite loop bug involving complex pending events fixed. " :? can anyone tell me what this means? the question has been asked on the atari boards and remains unanswered, but i sense that the presence of specialized geek knowledge may be greater here. a part of me desparately wants to...

  11. Review BeyDiv pleases GameSpot

    yeah sometimes 100+ hours of gameplay is not a good thing.( the first 60 were pretty kickass,however.)

  12. Might & Magic Tribute

    Knew this was in the works, but sounds like it's getting closer to reality. I hadn't realized Ubisoft had bought the MM rights. If this turns out well, maybe it will prompt them to continue the franchise, which would be very gratifying.

  13. Review GameSpot criticizes Sacred

    It's enheartening to see at least one semi-negative review of this game. I don't expect much except mindless fun from a diablo clone, but when goblins are dropping over 100 gold in the first hours of play and your character is leveling every five minutes it stretches one's credibility--and...

  14. More NWN2 and BG3 rumors

    Gromnir wrote: "again, when has you ever seen a company make such a major announcement in the middle of an ongoing thread on the arse end of some little visited message board?" not to fan the flames, but the ToEE board this was posted on is the third most visited Atari game forum, with...

  15. More NWN2 and BG3 rumors

    I think this is a totally serious announcement..and a hellacious marketing ploy, of course--this is like advertising on the forums..which means worldwide... free. my major fear is that behind the gloss of "RPG goodness" we are doomed to see incarnations of classic PC dnd in XBox format from...
