Default Re: OT: Game Recomendations?

I feel the main difference between Vegastrike and the Privateer remake is the clearer interface in Privateer; otherwise, they seem pretty much the same to me (except the screens when in a base, much better in Vegastrike IMO). Of course, I have been known to have strange tastes in graphics, so.

AZ: Have you tried running Privateer on Dosbox (a Dos emulator)? It may work out quite nicely, though Privateer will likely require a lot of resources to work properly. I will give it a try in a while. Among other recommendations: Darklands if you like open-ended RPGs, Planescape Torment if you prefer something more story/dialogue driven, or perhaps Arx Fatalis (or the Ultima Underworlds) for a different feel. And there are always the rogue-likes: Angband (and variants), Nethack (*Waves at Dogscoff*) or ADOM.
