Graph Paper?

[Livmo]

I used to do precisely this for all the Zork Infocom text adventures as well as the SSI Gold box games!

My maps never came out this nice. Very well done!


This was my fav back in the day and games have come a long way since then!

Not sexy, but serious joyful nostalgia and sparks so many instant memories at the mere sight (not all good, algrebra...ugh, but the rest of the friend filled D&D ones, nothing can compare!).

For nostalgia I had to take a general education class in college for computers. To get into the computer lab you needed a flow chart. I got in on the 1st try, because I wrote a program in BASIC to roll dice. Of course it was easier to actually roll dice than load a 5.25 floppy disc etc., but I thought it was cool that I got past the door guard on the 1 try!

Although, the way multi level maps are handled with the 'Map' feature of DDO (ie. shows every level in most of them, so no vertical component), graph paper may be better

I wonder if I still have my Bard's Tale I maps.

You think you know what lag is

Gotta love BASIC... I had a subscription to ANTIC magazine when I was a kid and remember spending many hours typing in code to run a rouge-like game with ASCII characters...ahh DOS...those were the days Heck, I still have some 5-1/4" disks, as well as some 3.5" disks around somewhere (things like fdisk and the like).

LOL I stil have a copy of all those old games. I loved them back in the day.

I still suck at The Pit.

I can do the pit by heart from sheer repetition at this point.
