Whom do they think makes the games they play?

In fact, the game portion of the store was divided up by genre: RPGs on one wall, adventure titles over there, strategy titles over there, etc. And most games came with a lot of content back then, too: huge manuals, maps and foldouts, little trinkets, sometimes fake diaries, etc. Some of this of course still occurs, but usually only among indie publishers. I'm working my way now through the PDF manual for Forge of Freedom. Okay, it's not printed out in the download I paid for, but still, it's intense.

Are we counting the Apple II? :cheesy: If not Ultima II and III came out before Ultima I did. How about Zork I? Do I win?

An Apple II is a computer so yes, however mine is an Apple II copy as well which is older than UI+UII.
The C64 versions and others were released later, I had a cracked copy of the C64 version, much like any other C64 game I had.

Dear Tseki,

You stated:
Heretic (mail order) 3.5" USA !!!

Heretic is a dark fantasy first-person shooter video game created by Raven Software, published by id Software, and distributed by GT Interactive in 1994.

As i know there are

Heretic 1 (3 episodes) 1994
City of the Damned,
Hell's Maw
the Dome of D'Sparil

(Here the battle with D'Sparil is long and bloody.
Maybe 1-3 hours depends on diff)
Trick: Use Fly option to reach and use as base the north situated building.

Heretic 1.3 (5 episodes).
Actually 3 episodes from Heretic 1 plus 2 new:
The Ossuary
The Stagnant Demesne
(The last battle is very funny: yoga is running like a devil around and around in closed area followed from 10-20 starving to kill me bosses ha ha ha).
December 23, 1994 March 31, 1996

Heretic 2 1998
Poor game

Heretic 1.3 is one of my favorites.
Maybe played one million times.

Sweet memories

Caro Capo,
i politely recommend You Heretic 1.3 (episode 3).
