Darklands

Now this is a cool game that needs and update. It's a 1992 DOS game from Microprose, set in medieval fantasy Germany, and plays out like a kind of proto-Baldur's Gate crossed with a text adventure game.

I would be head over heels into this game if not for the fact it plays bizarrely slowly for a 27 year old game. I guess the emulation must be to blame. Either it's terrible, or it's completely faithful. Either way, it makes the game impossible to fully enjoy in this day and age, though I wish that wasn't the case. I just don't have the time or patience. I wonder if there's anything out there more modern inspired by it.
