Cool Random Picture Thread

It's been in the back of my mind to finish up the pool of radiance page that I had created waaay back when, and the fact that it is on the PoR page of wikipedia kinda reinforced the fact that I need to get off my arse and finish the damn thing and move onto and complete the other numerous projects that have been left unfinished. So there I went back onto my CTX Ez-Book w/ Windows 95, to complete Pool of Radiance. Surprisingly from where I had left off since last time, I could finish the game within only a couple of hours. For some reason though, one of my characters could not move around during combat. The move option was just not available. must be a corrupt save file or something. Well anyway I had to remove him and create a new character to bring along with me. Not that I expected the new character to survive through till the end of the game with him being at level 1. I named him Xoram just for kicks. + yeah he didn't survive the final fight against Tyranthraxus, but then would you expect to survive as a level 1 fighter against the most evil and powerful enemy ever? Think not. My team did very well though. Here's a screenshot.

yup. I'm sure. he's as defeated as he's going to get. At least until he returns in Curse of the Azure Bonds.

hey, so PoR is lots of fun?

roughly how long to play it thru?
..and you've got it for d/l at your site, right? -via a PC emulator?

Yes. Lots. I've played it through numerous times. It's at least as long as the DW. maybe longer. The Dos version, + manual, journal, cluebook, codewheel, is available for download here. You'll need Dosbox to run it unless you have an older windows machine around.
