*The Adventurers' Guild

Since news is so slow, I thought I might as well post this for the heck of it: http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3164439

This is what I have figured out about the bonuses so far: 1. The bonuses are given to the archmage who reforged the segments into one at the temple. Equipping the scepter itself doesn't seem to do much. 2. The archmage gains a permanent bonus to AC. 3. Critical hits will instead fully restore the De...

In DOSbox, you can set the A drive to be your BT1 folder. For example:

mount a: c:\games\dosgames\bt\

Then, BT2 will see it. Warning: some things that formerly could be equipped in BT1 are unequippable in BT2, such as Wargloves for the bard.

I got my start by playing both Apple versions, the IIe and the IIGS. The IIe character disk had twinked-out characters from when my older brothers were hex-editing their characters while the IIGS version had nice music. At the time, I was still learning how to read, so you can just imagine how far I...
