I beat the first two main quest dungeons and then basically stopped because it was too easy. Now daggerfall is a game I could play for days straight.after a wank.- Umbrage

Fighters? lolnope
you NEED resist fire/shock and Heal at later levels, and it's incredibly difficult without Levitate.
so you're stuck bringing along a shitload of potions
and that still leaves you without Light, Open, and Passwall
so you need to seek out specific enchanted equipment if you don't want to have a hard time
good luck with that
and God help you if you run out of potions
or your equipment runs out of charge
and what do you get in return?
a few more AC points (which don't protect from magic) health (which allows you to survive another split second against casters) and weapon damage (have fun trying to get in range before you're roasted)
I started out as a Warrior, then switched to Bard when I installed the CD version
best thing that happened to me
Bard can cast all of the above spells at a decent level
OK weapon damage
P good armour
Critical hits
at low levels they're kind of weak but by the time you're in the teens you can spam heals all damn day, spit out enough crits to make melee a bore, and have enough spell points to cast pretty much anything you'll need.
as long as you're quick to cast resist fire/shock you're fine.I'll explain it to you. You have to get someone else to understand it for you.- Umbrage

I speedrun Yoshi's Island in my spare time now although I haven't had much of it over the past couple of weeks due to work/LoL commitments and traipsing through MMOland; I'm down to 2:45ish for a time but I can definitely knock another 15 minutes off easily with enough time and probably another 15-20 minutes off under that if I grind shit hard enough.
I kind of want to get a group of people together to learn some other game with me so I have some similar-level race competition (there aren't many people in my "not complete shit but not good" bracket for SMW2 yet) but I haven't really had the time.- Vi

it might take more time overall with a caster but it's less of a risk
Moral of the story don't get screwed. Carry a fuck load of pots. Gold isn't an obstacle in that game because you can just walk into shops a steal stuff. There is no reason for you not to have 150 health pots. But to be fair, arena is swingy and I have played quite a few other classic CRPGs so it was easier for me to pick up and play.after a wank.- CooLDoG

I wanna play more classic games but I don't really know which ones I should try. My personal choices right now are rather limited due to limited knowledge of gaming before my time :P
Does anyone have any suggestions?
(also I'm sure the PC-98 Touhou games count as Retro games, I play those too.)“Leftover lady, let alone the strongest to be subdued.
If I only had the magic key that would unlock the realms to the plateau of the highest me.
Even though I’ve been badly bruised, living in a house to become a popular muse.”

*shrug* there's always the 'carry 150 pots' potion, but it feels like cheating.
For stealing, I'm pretty sure you're thinking Daggerfall. It's really tough to make stealing a viable source of income since you can't save in shops.
@ Om: Arena/Daggerfall are good if you haven't played them. Otherwise, just download an emulator, Google for some ROMs and try shit out. Explore things, there are a few games I can think of that are considered classics that I didn't like.I'll explain it to you. You have to get someone else to understand it for you.- CooLDoG

What type of game do you want? There are a few old stand bys that I recommend:
Use this to play doom: http://www.chocolate-doom.org/wiki/inde ... olate_Doom
Simply drop 1 .wad into the unzipped folder (in windows)
Buy this game:
http://www.3drealms.com/duke3d/
And this one:
http://www.gog.com/gamecard/one_unit_whole_blood
That round shooters the shooters.
This game is good:
http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/sid_meiers_colonization
If you can find civilization 1 you will have a great time, for now you can use free civ:
http://freeciv.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page
X-com is A++: http://store.steampowered.com/sub/964/
ONLY GET THE ORIGINAL TFTD sucks.
I'm going to link to abandonia because this game is impossible to find: http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/359/A ... ation.html
As far as RPGs go you can't go wrong with: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wizardry
Or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gold_box#Titles
Or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dungeon_Ma ... eo_game%29
Again, you tell me what you want to play and I will give you a long list.
@umb, dagger fall it is ridiculously easy to steal stuff. I was thinking of dagger.after a wank.- Om of the Nom

Well personally I feel my normal choices of games are much too picky, so I'm trying to be open to anything.“Leftover lady, let alone the strongest to be subdued.
