Slowdown utilities did not help at the time. Reducing the cycles in DOSBox also did not help. Anyway, an administrator in the Dark Sun Online helped me passed that with my saved game. Other than that, nice game. Too bad they do not make this kind of game anymore in recent years... other than the buggy Temple of Elemental Evil, I guess.

Well the ToEE patch3 eradicated almost every nasty bug.. including the one where you couldn't loot anybody

And ToEE falls in line with Vampire: Bloodlines.
Which by the way (sadly) earns his place in this discussion, as being seriously broken and unplayable in it's "final" state. Thank god for community patches.
Oh and Marathon 2.. well that game may be a hit on the Mac, but as Tomekk pointed out, it really has no relevance to the PC
By the way, I just remembered the culmination of baad games. It's even worse then Winthrop's Mansion, at least that was completed, and thus being bad. *Drumroll*
World of Chaos My ties to this game are of nostalgia and patriotism. Made by a hungarian development team, based on a hungarian novel series and P&P game, this could have been sooo awesome. Instead, it was cancelled. So what is it doing here? Well apparently it WAS released in Germany. In the state the developers left it. No kidding, I saw this in a shop on one of my excursions to Germany. I was suprised, and after I got home I googled and searched and unearthed a version... to my demise.
It looks good, it sounds good.. and the good things end right there. Only a few starter quests are working, combat barely. Everything else is broken, non existant, and well.. unfinished. I really should call it the DNF of RPGs, but hey, someone put this out on the market
