YES! I do remember you, Rusty. I didn't see you around the TAC boards for a long time, though. Now I know where you've been hanging out.

Hi Melia <img border="0" alt="" title="" src="graemlins/bravo.gif " />
i didn't see you

And RAJ1, Angelfire, Unlaura -- I somehow didn't see your posts when I first browsed this thread. It's great to 'see' all of you again, too!

*no longer in Kansas, but in the Wonderful Land of OZ...

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!

Gatorlaw-LOL! My name is Laura but that user name seems to always be taken, so I use unlaura because when I very first got internet service that was the username they gave me, un being the first two letters of my last name. Iknow, not very creative!

I think it's a GREAT user name -- always have! Unlaura... it sounds so mysterious.

Sorry about that Katsmom - I'm confusing what you played to what you haven't

Those integrated video chips are a pain. I generally build my own computers but this last time bought one "off the rack" so to speak. It came with onboard sound and video and before I walked out of the store I had a stand alone video card in hand. Used to be all adventure games could be played on low end machines - not any more - the system specs are getting up there with FPS and RPGs. That's why I have a few computers sitting around me - one with XP, one with W98SE and my trusty old P133 with W95 and it's whopping one meg video card and SB16 I get bored with just roaming around looking at stuff - I want to converse with people - find out what's going on in their world and yell at them for doing something dumb

That's okay, syd; even I can't remember sometimes what I've played! In a few weeks or so, I should have 14 adventure games in my UNPLAYED pile - - so as you can see, we have THAT in common, too!

So, syd -- can I join the dark side guild of "Not A Clue" who's game shelves runnuth over?

Well I'm glad I'm not the only orphan going on in here! Hey Danyboy, haven't seen you since the BJ thing was going on! By the way Katsmom, bkrytr is going to come over here some time today so we can all be one big happy family here as well!

Katsmom with only 14 games in your unplayed pile you are a mere baby - wait till you've been around us for a while We hang out in the RPG/Action forum. I'm a recent convert to said Dark Side of the gaming world (hence the "not a clue") - I dipped my toes into the murky waters of RPGs and found out I love them - lots of stuff to do, people to talk to, places to go to-ing and fro-ing (I love to go to-ing and fro-ing). Makes a nice change from adventure games.

Oops looks like while I was typing we have another new member.

to GB Gigi

Thanks, my unplayed pile has gotten considerably smaller since school let out and I'm not volunteering in my son's class room! By the way I can't find my smileys where are they or where have they gone? I'm so used to them being right in front of me! Anyway thanks for the great welcome. I'm so glad not be an orphan anymore. What is Gothic by the way? Right now I am getting ready to play Aura, already played Missing thought it was great. Pretty cool stuff going on in that one.

Good to see you, too. This is a nice place

Melia -- you did it! Your kitty looks GREAT! It looks like GB has made it bigger for you. I'm glad you got your avatar back.

Syd -- okay, now I'm a widdle bit scared...

RPGs? You HAVE crossed over to the dark side, syd! Don't go there! You may never find your way back to us...

----- -----

I'm loyal to Adventure, syd; but... to you over there.

I couldn't have done it without you. ::hugs and kisses::

try it you may love it. you just may surprise yourself and open a whole new world of gaming.

Zanthia -- I'm so addicted to adventure already -- Lord help me if I ever crossed over to that dark side and took a peek, and LIKED it. LOL, I'd be unemployed!

You see that's why the dark side is so insidious Katsmom - I used to be an "I refuse to play anything other than adventure games" person too - then one day this sneaky little game found it's way onto my hard drive and just like Myst 10 years earlier - I was hooked [sigh] I fear there is no hope for me - I now swing both ways

Gigi, I'm sorry for not answering your question - Gothic is an RPG


And to get the smilies - click on the tannish reply button rather than using the quick reply box.

I will say this for RPGs... they're widely available in every store I visit! Of course, I go to those stores looking for ADVENTURE games... but all I see are shelves full of RPGs and Action games.

So I can see the possibility of my breaking down one day, and taking one off the shelf. MAYBE.

I get to watch them second hand... my son plays em and I can see his screen from my desk The only cross genre game I managed was Dragonriders of Pern and I did enjoy it thoroughly!!

Playing more than one genre means never having to say you can't find a new game to play.

RPGs do have fighting, but some of them are like a whole bunch of adventure games put together. Years ago I had no idea that some of the games I played were of a different genre, just thought they were adventure games with fighting. A consistent favorite over on the RPG forum is Divine Divinity, that quite a few "adventure only" folks have played and enjoyed. Lots of help there too for it, should anyone want to give it a try.

Hello All-

I was so down when TAC closed and was not sure where to go, so glad that Katsmom directed me here, I like the way it feels and I like the people at the forum. Thanks for taking us in.

Margo

Margo!

Rusty
