I also remember wanting to make a marching band version of it in Macromedia Director because, unlike Quake and all those games, I could just use photos of people as my sprites. I always ran out of food. My party died wandering in the wilderness. And Slade - what is this "sun" that you speak of? Is it what passes by my windows every day? Ahhh…I remember Krondor well.

I always ran out of food. My party died wandering in the wilderness.

And Slade – what is this “sun” that you speak of? Is it what passes by my windows every day?

Dynamix had come out with games previously but the specific guys who are now garage-games were relatively unknown as compared to Carmack's crew with Quake, Doom, Hexen or even Activision. “cave-dwelling hermits whose skin burns at the slightest contact with sunlight” is geared towards those whose only source of light is the glow of a monitor in a dimly lit room.

I can't help it that my skin burns at the slightest contact with sunlight, I have a genetic condition that causes it- it's called "having Irish heritage."

Out of nowhere? Hardly, my friend- many an hour of my junior high and high school was spent wasted on Dynamix games. Front Page Sports Football, Betrayal at Krondor, The Incredible Machine. My occasionally frightening recall of WWII fighter planes is entirely due to Dynamix, and the many, many, many hours I spent flying missions in both Aces of the Pacific and Aces Over Europe. Aces Over Europe was also the first game I ever downloaded a mod for from the internet- I think it was to let me fly missions in the P-59 and the P-82. I've never played a flight sim I enjoyed quite as much as those... Anyway, I'm looking forward to seeing Star Wars: The Old Republic. Bioware has yet to do wrong by me when it comes to RPGs, so I have faith that they'll put out something worth the time. Dynamix? Out of nowhere?
