Monday, 22 July 2013. Catacombs (Commodore 64, 1987). Being the ardent treasure hunter that you are, you had a hard time resisting the stories about the Catacombs of Darkness and the fantastic caches of gold hidden there by the mysterious builders of the underground fortress. Armed with only a torch, you descended the steps leading down to the catacombs without hesitating, ignoring the weird cries emanating from the dimly lit crypt, images of bulging chests of ill-gotten lucre swimming in your mind.

Along with that, I've been working on a big project for this blog, which, I hope, will be published soon. Regarding this opera magna. I'm working on, I've stumbled into a really worrying case of CRPG incorrect year. We have a problem here, a very big one. Why cannot be 1982? Wizardry is just one t...

Here's a better scan of the of card taken from Museum of Computer Adventure Game. Again: Ultima II (Apple II), Ebay Auction. Quite surprisingly here's another copy of Ultima II on Ebay.
