Yeah, I can understand that. Those RPG are a huge time investment. Especially Wizardy 8 tends to get ludicrous in how ling the battles can go on. Especially early on with Piercer Modai, where I always risk running out of stamina since they take forever to kill.

Speaking of RPGs, I do read a lot about them, too. Maybe you and your son might be interested in reading the cRPG Addict as he's playing through all the computer RPGs (still) existing and rating them. Pretty great read imo. Although, if you want to read it all, I guess it will take as long as playing some of those games again...

Also, I wouldn't have guessed there were so many RPGs back in the days. He's currently at his 335th game and only reached 1992 - and that's with dozens of games not working, not existing anymore or that he missed and put on his backlog. And he has a huge amount to play: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1u4xRHlx2P7PXxMoY9hmtOvbRRY8Fx9HwmsBqY1XwQyQ/edit#gid=0

Wow, thanks for that link - I guess I'd need few clones of myself just to read through that all, let alone play all those games, but it seems like a great resource for finding out how good some of those old games are once I do find time to try out some of them.

I am reading the blog for years, so I'm mostly up to date. We recently tried to figure out how long the books would become (there's the idea to turn the blog into a series of books), and taken together, the posts would be longer than Dune or War and Peace, without the pictures of course.
