Welcome! It's always interesting seeing people keep classic titles playable on modern hardware. Out of curiosity, which platform has been the most rewarding for you to work with so far?

Exactly the one I'm talking about in the post

In-depth reviews of retro games (like the Temple of Apshai trilogy and the Dunjonquest series)

Wow, that's certainly the way back machine! For some reason the title "Hellfire Warrior" has drifted in and out of my mind in recent months, although I haven't sought to play it. And it turns out I misremembered the title. I actually played Star Warrior.

Just wondering why I bothered to do that tactical mostly menu entry stuff when I was a kid. Think I got it as a bundle of several old Epyx titles. Temple of Apshai and Morloc's Tower sound familiar, although of these, the sci-fi themed Star Warrior got the time.

Crush, Crumble, and Chomp! was an all-around better game, due to animated character graphics. Some menu driven stat similarities, so getting some of the number crunching but more whiz bang effects for the effort spent. Those other Epyx games are using a much earlier game engine.

Are you referring to something like this? 🙂

I meant exactly the titles I said. I know I played Star Warrior for fact, because I remember both the box artwork and the outdoor gameplay. As to which other Dunjonquest titles I played, I'm not sure, but I remember owning and paying for 2 or 3 that were actually about dungeons. Somehow these were bundled, but I can't find any info now about what bundle I might have purchased back then.
