I was shopping around for printer ink at Walmart the other day when the following caught my eye in the PC game aisle.
Needless to say, I pretty much had to buy it right then and there. :mrgreen:
It's comes with all five games in the series (going back to 1994) with all of their expansion packs, maps for each, and some pretty swanky box art.
I don't know about any of you guys, but that's what I call $70.00 well spent. I'm just about having a full on nerdgasm over here. :lol:
I would bet there is an emulator somewhere for it.How do you get Arena and Daggerfall to run? I can't get any of that DOS stuff to run on W7.

WANT.
But I already own oblivion and skyrim on steam, so....

I DL'd "DosBox" and can get Daggerfall to run but it's a pain in the ass because you need to remount the game every time you close it and I can only get it to run in a window.

??????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm surprised I didn't know about this.
Incidentally, Arena, on first impression, strikes me as probably being a bit too primitive to really be enjoyable. It's plays a lot more like a first person version of Diablo than an Elder Scrolls game.
Warriors, for instance, can't use magic at all from what I've seen, and mages and rogues can't wear armor.
Daggerfall, on the other hand, seems to be a lot more promising. It has the punishing learning curve and difficulty one would expect of a more retro game, but there's a lot more freedom in character customization and behavior. It definitely feels like where the series probably hit its stride in terms of overall formula.
Daggerfall is great ... until you fall through the dungeon floor
seriously, save often or learn a teleport spell.
I'm kind of catching on to that.
I think I've died like five or six times in the tutorial level alone. :lamo
Not being able to look up or down makes it kind of hard to fight things enemies that like to loiter in either the top or the bottom of the screen (i.e. rats or bats), it turns out. lol
