Arrived in the mail today: Sorcerian for the PC (DOS).

Kinda surprised I waited this long to buy it.

I would like a complete set of the Dragon Slayer games + spin-offs someday (ports and remakes are fine, I don't have a PC88, PC98, MSX, Sharp X1, etc...). Too bad the only English version of Xanadu Next is on the................. N-Gage. :?

Nice find! And don't worry too much about picking up the N-Gage solely for Xanadu Next. You can also pick up The Elder Scrolls Travels: Shadowkey, Rifts: Promise of Power, and Requiem of Hell for more RPG to check out.

Who knows, maybe I'll pick one up someday...

I'd like to do a full playthrough of the Dragon Slayer series, beginning to end, some day soon. This is my plan, basically:
Dragon Slayer (Saturn + Action Replay)
Dragon Slayer Gaiden (Game Boy)
Xanadu (Saturn + Action Replay)
Faxanadu (NES)
Xanadu Next (N-Gage)
Romancia (Famicom - either on an actual Famicom, with an adapter, or a clone console that plays Famicom games)
Legacy of the Wizard (NES)
Sorcerian (PC)
Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes (PC Engine CD)
Dragon Slayer: The Legend of Heroes II (PC Engine CD or [modded] SNES)
Lord Monarch (modded SNES)
The Legend of Xanadu (PC Engine CD)
The Legend of Xanadu II (PC Engine CD)

It happens to me all the time on this site, and only on this site. But usually the back button will keep what I wrote, intact.

However when I fail to realize that there's more than 3 quotes and it tells me I can't do that, then the internet problem happens, the back button fails. :(

You're gonna love Hit and Run, if you're even a casual fan of the series. The story was written by the Simpsons staff. So much to do!

I do plan to eventually take some shots to put in my game room thread.

My actual DOS collection isn't too impressive though. In fact, I only own two disk-based DOS games: Sorcerian and Leisure Suit Larry. All of my other DOS games are CD-ROM.

All of my other disk games are for the C64 or Tandy Color.

Just picked up three DS games: Last Window: The Secret of Cape West, Puzzle Kingdoms and Spectrobes: Beyond The Portals. I've wanted to pick up Last Window for ages, I like puzzle quest style games and I wanted to try a Spectrobes game but couldn't find the first one.
