You need to bring back the whole enchilada. DOS, $50 a megabyte for RAM, CRT monitors, installing games from a stack of 3.5" floppies.

One of the worst dungeons of all time.

Going to the operating system style of the conversation… DOS is basically still there in Windows. Press Windows+R and type CMD. Personally, I prefer the UNIX style terminals of MacOS and Linux but each to their own.

On the dungeon side, maybe next season they will bring De Other Side back. For all those die hard fans.

De Other Side is a great dungeon except for trying to explain to people the split phase 5 times a week every week. I hope the next Shadowlands M+ is Theater of Pain.

Very much so.

And having to go into the autoexe and config files to change a setting for some games to work. I had to do that for some of the Kings Quest games and Legend of Kyrandia to adjust the graphics/memory.

Did anyone else here learn BASIC on a TRS-80?
Then my mom actually got an Apple IIe through her job and it was awesome.

The Incredible Machine \o/

EMM386.EXE or HIGHMEM.SYS?

NOEMS?

Remove DOSKEY from autoexec.bat for that extra 4k

Ah the good ol’ days.

Thematically, I loved it.

But mechanics-wise, I hated those shadow-door portals you had to run through on the last boss- sometimes they seemingly just didn’t work when they were supposed to, resulting in a wonky-feeling fight.

Still felt kinda epic, though.

Bonus points for having both Bwonsomedi AND the Millhouses in there.

I like it for the RP aspect of it.

Actually running it for m+ though? Na…
