Just a note about these screen shots, I used code to make them smaller, so should you want to use them as backgrounds on your desktop you can just right click on the picture you like and save the image (These shots are in 640x480, I will be taking 800x600 shots form now on, they will take a bit longer to download though!)
Random note :
If you are a speed freak looking for faster frame rates, I read an
article about running games on BeOs,
and damn, it beats windows most of the time, the only bummer is it cant
do SLI, but if you have a Radeon, it kicks buTT !!!
so I haven't finished the game myself either, but hey, the little that I have played has at least kept my interest going so that I will at some stage get there. Not like the game is very difficult or anything, it just takes some time (I am not exactly playing it on easy, so there are some tricky moments, and I do like a challenge ; )
So the first couple of screen shots are from the first episode. When
I first got the game (a couple of years back, and playing it on my Cyrix
5x86 100 MHz with , get this, a WHOPPING 24 megs of RAM ; ) it was
a bit rough going, playing at about
10 fps, I managed to get past FAMINE, but couldn't manage to kill DEATH,
the frame rate was just to slow for me to progress, and now that I am playing
at 90+ fps, things are just a tad easier ! ; )
Ok so here we go :
The first episode of the game starts of in a fortress type setting. If you turn to your left, there are instructions on the wall, telling you about your quest to kill "FAMINE". ( I actually only saw this way after I got the game. You will find similar "posters" through out the game.
Overall the difficulty aint to bad , with your regular grunts and spiders populating most areas. The only tricky enemy is the skull wizard, watch out for the spiders once you kill him.
hmm..."Unreal"
?!?
As you can see from these screen shots I do like being a necromancer, I suppose that's where my Diablo 2 character came from ! (That game will get a page soon.)
Episode 2 , and FAMINE next week.....
