A big thank you also from me .

Thumbs up!
I finally going to get my hands on an expansion unit (thanks Eslapion again) so I can play ROQ3 on the real thing proper!

I bought the disk a while back but it is very generous of you to share with others. Thank you for keeping the Vic alive.

Very nice! I'm looking forward to trying out the ROQ I&II Anniversary editions which I assume are different from those on the 2009 ROQIII Commercial diskette I own. (Edit: I see they must be new from the 2011 date, and looked up the differences - good stuff!)

Blogged about it here: http://c64walkabout.com/index.php?optio ... Itemid=113.

Thank you all for the kind words. I had a lot of fun making these. I did ask Psytronik to remove the digital version and to provide 'store credit' for anyone who bought digital copies and requests it.

I'm really hoping that Retro Gamer takes notice and gives an actual review of Realms of Quest III -- positive or negative. The lack of a deep storyline and character interaction is probably it's only detriment. But that was intentional--I wanted to simulate and focus on every CRPG trope that used to be popular in the late 1970s and early 1980s. It's level and magic item grinding just for the sake of it. Once you have a party of superpowered heroes, then you can go kick the final baddie's butt.

A question for you all here: have any of you 'solved' the game yet? I have along with Realms II multiple times. But I never solved the first--having fudged up my stats to win the final encounter while testing it.

I wonder if I should update the disk sold by Psytronik to include the six games I've made since 2009 (like a revised edition), or if I should just submit them to Psytronik to be placed under a 'Theater of War' commercial disk package. The Anniversary editions of Realms I + II are the definitive versions of those games. Especially Realms II where I combine the 2004 minigame with the graphics I made in 1992-93.

Have you ever thought of making a cassette release of any of your games? I know it sounds a little crazy, but I like the idea of loading up a commercial release from tape once in a while.

[robinsonmason]

CB, Ghislain has a release or two(?) at Chronosoft on tape.

Ghislain, I have not beaten the game yet (ROQ3) - need to shoot for it again.

I suggest a Theater of War package with extra goodies not included on the ROQ release. I'd buy that. Besides, Psytronik could use another VIC-20 Premium Disk in its selection.

If you update the ROQ III commercial release disk you might just add the anniversary editions of I and II - possibly a "bug" fix for the gold issue I mentioned a while back where you need to save a dagger to sell in case you get poisoned because training will drain your bank account to zero? (I can't recall the specific issue right now)

[CBR125R]

They have the V3 (WW2) version of THEATER OF WAR available. I just ordered a copy... I hope it runs okay on NTSC....

Digging out this REALLY old thread, but want to ask if anyone (in best case of course Ghislain himself) can re-up the ZIP file with all named games please? Of course such an old DL link is gone dead over the years.

Thanks to anyone responding to my request

[dragos]

I second this request

[R'zo]

Third.
