I never played that one) that I'd be happy with.Quirkzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16409671254311123117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-26306384451194460652015-02-19T23:59:13.937-05:002015-02-19T23:59:13.937-05:00This doesn't necessarily sound like a *terribl...This doesn't necessarily sound like a *terrible* CRPG--just a very basic one, best played by kids brand new to the genre . . .Jeremy Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11398438801903631183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-34469886485824159892014-03-17T18:18:23.872-04:002014-03-17T18:18:23.872-04:00I'm sorry; it's been too long since I play...I'm sorry; it's been too long since I played to remember.CRPG Addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01238237377918550322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6162314467762792782.post-90435510162690374212014-03-15T17:02:55.885-04:002014-03-15T17:02:55.885-04:00When do you start finding armor in this game?

It should be the other one, red, green, yellow, look it up on MobyGames. That often happens if you don't set DOSBox to actually emulate CGA and just pick it from the game menu.
