IIRC SJ fixed Midway. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Yep. That was me. I made a colorized Version, and a standalone EXE Version as well.

Oo....so many nethack fans.

Unfortunately the telnet server seems to be down at the moment.

The tournament is in a couple of months, maybe we should have a challenge for the SE players to see who can get the best score in that period.

And talking of moddable RPGs I'm surprised nobody mentioned morrowind . The game is awesome. Can't stop playing it. Must find a daedric short sword.

most daedric items are leveled drops. you can try looking in ruins or strongholds, but unless one is laying about as part of the scenery, you wont get one off a monster untill you are fairly high level. like over 20, i think. the things are just too darn heavy though, especially the Daedric plate. The glass armor is pretty neat, but i feel like the Guyver when im wearing it.

I find it interesting that Shrapnel is marketing a second heavily moddable RPG. After all, there is Runesword already out there; why do they need another one? Isn't that counter productive, having two similar products out there, competing against each other? How is that good business sense?

Then again, what do I know about "business sense"?

Well Shrapnel is in the business of selling games. If Malfador has an RPG now why shouldn't they push it? RSII is several months old, and Crosscut has not made any sort of commitment to making an RSIII anytime soon AFAIK. I doubt that DO is going to affect any ongoing sales of RSII. But on the other hand I am sure if and when Crosscut has their next game ready Shrapnel will be happy to sell it too.

Think of Shrapnel as the record label and the developers as the artists. It's not a perfect analogy, but it will do. A record label wouldn't try to only sell one artists albums would they? Not if they had a choice anyway.
