OK, my girlfriend's finally consented into buying me a Mac Game for t
Chanukkah, and I'm looking for something really worth getting.
Does anyone have any suggestions? The last computer game I bought was
Pirates (which I love), but I'm looking for a really good Role-Playing
Game or something like Ultima. (I gotta Mac SE BTW) I've seen a lot
of posts about Might and Magic? Is it worth it?
I need help ladies and gentlemen!!!! Anything would be really **really**
appreciated.

Is it worth it? can't comment on the rest, haven't tried them, but there's this frpg called NetHack which you can get via anon-ftp from linc.cis.upenn.edu pub/NH3.0/mac and which is addictive. overtime, the game gets more interesting and upgrades are free (as is the game itself)! for the cognizetti, the long-awaited final 3.0 patchlevel will be released shortly after the beginning of the new year. then the game should appear _everywhere_ as 3.0i pl10. -dave- hairston@henry.ece.cmu.edu

I second the recommendation! Ok, so what if it is character based, but even so, the amount of detail is really impressive! What exactly is so long awaited about this next patch? I've got 3.0i pl 9, can you tell me what improvements from 9 to 10 are? Do you know the authors of the mac version [or are you the 'Dave' in the about box]? I'd like to see the key combinations of the commands appear next to the menu commands. It would sure beat having to go the help screens all the time. Actually, on my copy, I whipped out ResEdit and added what I could find to the menu commands, like "Quaff Potion [q]". Problem is, not all the commands are simple one letter jobs so it can look pretty ugly. Maybe a custom MDEF is in order. I also thought about asking for the source so I could put up a monster palette, so when an 'S' appeared, a Snake icon would appear in the monster palette/icon dock; but then I thought about drawing all those icons! mike gleason "How I've waited for you to come 252u3129@fergvax.unl.edu I've been here all alone Now that you've arrived, please stay awhile And I promise not to keep you long...
