We’ll get to all of this and more over the course of this video!All of this made it a game that, among retro gaming enthusiasts, became more fabled and mist-shrouded than the real-world mountain which originated its title:Aconcagua.**Support the Channel**http://patreon.com/RagnarRoxShowHilltop’s YouTube Channel: youtube.com/@hilltopworksConquering the Mountain: How Aconcagua was Finally translatedyoutube.com/watch?v=Nwh-b6AUY5IHilltop’s Aconcagua English Language Patch:patreon.com/posts/68930991Chapters00:00 Part I: Made in Japan05:23 Part II: Survival Point & Click08:39 Sponsor: Hello Fresh10:30 Part II (cont.)16:36 Part III: ¡ HASTA LA REVOLUCIÓN !24:08 Part IV: Stranded and Left for Dead28:37 Part V: The Adventure of a Lifetime35:21 Update, Thank you & Credits__Script:Michael Saba, Ragnar UlricsonCaptions (en):Mira Cox, Ragnar Ulricson__Footage Credits:Brazil's Video Game Gray Markets | ClothMapyoutube.com/watch?v=MU29Wqg_BVoBahamut Lagoon (SNES) Gameplay Footage | Nintendo Lifeyoutube.com/watch?v=N_o0FwQ9le0Treasure Hunter G - Longplay [SNES] | Kryschnack Longplayyoutube.com/watch?v=VvYCKto1WbISNES Longplay [302] Alcahest (Fan Translation) | World of LongplaysPlayed by: xRavenXPyoutube.com/watch?v=NL43AstjdbkFront Mission: Gun Hazard Video Walkthrough 1/3 | SaikyoMogyoutube.com/watch?v=bmhVu-2zoCYRacing Lagoon (PS1) Playthrough [1 of 2] English - NintendoCompleteyoutube.com/watch?v=NWsk4GDiFtYLet's Play Mizzurna Falls- Part 1: Prologue | iconoclast187youtube.com/watch?v=1z17T0plEw4Iblard Laputa no Kaeru Machi - Longplay pt 1( イバラード ラピュタの孵る街) | Dylan Schneideryoutube.com/watch?v=8g5RLjdxd6IPlayStation - Kaze no Notam (1997) | The VideoGame Museumyoutube.com/watch?v=yQN3ZgW8hLgKowai Shashin (English Patched) Playstation Longplay - (No Commentary) | ZackNSlashyoutube.com/watch?v=UPO1abrfD6sLSD: Dream Emulator [No Commentary] [1] | Takotoyoutube.com/watch?v=d5QhUDtgtg0Planet Laika PS1 Fan-translation Pt 1 | CaptainUsopp2006youtube.com/watch?v=vR4pYvAhp9sPSX Longplay [154] Spyro the Dragon | World of LongplaysPlayed by: NPIyoutube.com/watch?v=_nhDtDBmZLQDisaster Report (PS2) - Full Game Walkthrough [SOS: The Final Escape / Zettai Zetsumei Toshi] | NeoGamer - The Video Game Archiveyoutube.com/watch?v=ncc4772ESkAPSX Longplay Resident Evil - Chris | World of LongplaysPlayed by: ULTIMAyoutube.com/watch?v=ArlQ91tX2JUAconcagua (PSX) - Partial Playthrough | The1Nostalgicyoutube.com/watch?v=_clm9Zmt02Myoutube.com/watch?v=OquKMnTlo04

Released in 1999 and developed by Terminal Reality, it was technically so impressive that barely any computer could run it remotely smoothly at the time. It’s an incredibly atmospheric horror gaming gem in the truest sense of the metaphor, highly overlooked, neglected and dropped from distribution into obscure abandonware state, that - no matter how you end up feeling about it - will leave an impression on you.And it’s one that I keep being bummed about that it never received a proper sequel.**Support the Channel on Patreon: http://patreon.com/RagnarRoxShow**Or: Join the YouTube Channel Membership by clicking the “Join” button right below the video.__How to Get Nocturne Running on Modern Systems:tumblr.com/ragnarrox/725720420628758528/how-to-get-nocturne-running-on-modern-systemsCheck out The Collection Chambercollectionchamber.blogspot.comI can also highly recommend @GrimBeard's video on Nocturne in case you want to hear more about it!youtube.com/watch?v=EIcFGF2w2dQChapters00:00 Introduction06:18 Sponsor08:43 Part 1: Of Men and Monsters26:04 Part 2: How I Learned to Stop Worrying (and love the Jank)35:36 Part 3: Tales from the Spookhouse38:33 Part 4: Technical Shenanigans41:06 Epilogue & Credits’__Captions (en):@miraprime474, Ragnar UlricsonMusic__Using excerpts from Nocturne soundtrack (included in the Collection Chamber package of the game)Silent Hill 4 OST by Akira YamaokaTurrican OST by Chris HülsbeckChopin Nocturnes Op.9 No.2, performed by gballxChopin Nocturnes Op.9 No.20, performed by ManriquedelaraBlood OST by Daniel Bernstein & Guy WhitmoreX-Files OST by Mark SnowWhen Johnny Comes Marching Home, performed by OrchestralisNocturne of Noir Town, Deserted & Dark Velvet Jazz by Crypt-of-Insomnia__Footage Credits:@LGR | Unreal Tournament 22 Years Later: An LGR Retrospectiveyoutube.com/watch?v=XRF06DpQE0c@SvalPlay | Blair Witch Volume I: Rustin Parr | Full Game | Longplay Walkthrough No Commentary | [PC]youtube.com/watch?v=vdoKoZl4LAE@SvalPlay | Blair Witch Volume II: The Legend of Coffin Rock | Full Game | Longplay Walkthrough No Commentary PCyoutube.com/watch?v=Cg6B3qqJIjQ@SHNHorror | Blair Witch Volume III: The Elly Kedward Tale | Walkthrough Gameplay No Commentaryyoutube.com/watch?v=didoZWvXjyg

So I Got to Play Decarnation (2023) | Launch Review RagnarRox 2023-06-06 | Decarnation is a charmingly hand-pixelated and animated psychological horror adventure; the first release by the French indie developer Atelier QBD. I've gotten access to the game before launch and it had hooked me from the moment I played the demo a few months ago, and I couldn't stop playing until I got to the end of its 6-8 hourlong campaign set in the world of cabaret dancing in late 80s Paris.Noteworthy to mention is that the maestro himself, Akira Yamaoka has contributed to the soundtrack with 10 highly atmospheric tracks to underscore to the surreal and haunting nightmare-dreamscapes protagonist Gloria visits during her Oddyssey into the depths of her psyche.The game and soundtrack are available on Steam:store.steampowered.com/app/1672310/DecarnationChapters0:00 Intro05:14 Overview and First Impressions21:33 Digging deeper (past the Prologue)30:56 Puzzles and co.37:15 Conclusion**Support the Channel**http://patreon.com/RagnarRoxShowRagnar’s GOG Hot-Listaf.gog.com/partner/RagnarRox?as=1628879817__CreditsCaptions (English): Mira Coxtwitter.com/pop_primer

Alone in the Dark was both technically and game-design wise absolutely ahead of its time, pioneering the fixed-camera/pre-rendered background technique paired with pretty much all the signature elements that Resident Evil would later define as Survival Horror.Alone in the Dark would later be awarded the first-ever 3D Survival Horror game retroactively by the Guinnes Book of Records.Let’s talk about what makes this game such a fascinating milestone of video game history, and thennnn also explore the not-so-shiny legacy of the franchise down through the years - up until today.**Support the Channel**http://patreon.com/RagnarRoxShowChapters00:00 Intro: Back to The Mansion04:19 Sponsor: Nord VPN06:05 Part 1: Alone in the Dark (- ages of 3D Gaming)14:00 Part 2: Derelict Estate Blues27:26 Part 3: Forest for the Trees32:09 Part 4: The Downward Spiral47:18 Thank you & Credits__Script:Michael Saba, Ragnar UlricsonCaptions (en):Mira Cox, Ragnar Ulricson__Footage Credits:Resident Evil Mansion Unreal Engine 4 Walkthrough | Brent Littleyoutube.com/watch?v=9lLMTsE4f6EPC Longplay [248] Alone in the Dark (Infogrames) | World of LongplaysPlayed by: Deskawayoutube.com/watch?v=9lWaQe8LPW0Atari 2600 longplay [027] Haunted House | World of LongplaysPlayed by: georgc3youtube.com/watch?v=gGn536gbFUAPC Longplay [254] Alone in the Dark 2 | World of LongplaysPlayed by: Deskawayoutube.com/watch?v=gkHXD531Ut8PC Longplay [283] Alone in the Dark 3 | World of LongplaysPlayed by: Deskawayoutube.com/watch?v=v0oiDnGaM4YPSX Longplay [539] Alone in the Dark_ The New Nightmare (Part 1 of 2) Carnby | World of LongplaysPlayed by: NPiyoutube.com/watch?v=UYfzY3gdm2gPSX Longplay [005] Resident Evil 2 | World of LongplaysPlayed by: Spazbo4youtube.com/watch?v=kYmeNHhwQd4Alpha Waves - Atari ST (1990) | Wasabiyoutube.com/watch?v=qwFPV855sI4Alpha Waves [1990] MS DOS - 5 Minute Gameplay - No Commentary | Retro Games Libraryyoutube.com/watch?v=DNiz319-M-MAlone in the Dark: Illumination 1080p/60fps Full HD Walkthrough Longplay Gameplay No Commentary | Survival Horror Networkyoutube.com/watch?v=d4brgv6Mh-gClassic Game Postmortem: Alone in the Dark | GDCyoutube.com/watch?v=c2lgEyNaop4

(Only the 2008 remake for the Wii and PS2 got that honor)But, a few months ago, thanks to the valiant efforts of the ROM-hacking community, we’ve finally blessed with a masterful English fan-translation.

Which is a damn shame, because Hellnight was highly inventive, pioneering many mechanics that have become tried and true staples in survival horror gaming.A prime example for a game that was far ahead of its time... or rather pearls before swine.**Support the Channel**http://patreon.com/RagnarRoxShowChapters00:00 Intro03:18 Part 1: Pearls Before Swine07:06 Sponsor08:58 Part 2: Welcome to The Mesh16:33 Part 3: TOP 5 REASONS HELLNIGHT WAS TOTALLY AHEAD OF ITS TIME23:06 Epilogue: Atlus was onto something here28:43 Thank you & Credits__Thanks for additional Footage Recording: Mira Cox@Snaping Snapper

The game was developed by Lobotomy Software and released in two completely different versions for PC and consoles (PlayStation and Sega Saturn).Where the PC version was your standard, run-off-the-mill "doom-clone" shooter, where you traversed linear levels with the odd door-key puzzle, the console versions offered fully polygonal 3D environments with open-ended Metroidvania-style traversal a good deal before Symphony of the Night came out.With PowerSlave Exhumed, Nightdive has beautifully remastered this overlooked and underrated classic shooter gem with a skillful merging of the best-of-both-worlds of both console versions. It's a damn near perfect remaster and a great and rare example of how video game preservations should be done.

A Journey Through Dantes Inferno RagnarRox 2021-12-10 | Thanks to Keeps for sponsoring this video!Head to http://keeps.com/ragnarrox to get 50% off your first order of hair loss treatment.MONSTERS OF THE WEEK: Dante’s Inferno#Dante’sInferno #Dante’sInfernoReview #MonstersOfTheWeekVisceral Games’ video game adaptation of Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy Part 1: Dante’s Inferno has always been one of my guilty pleasure titles. The game was initially planned to be the first of 3 adaptations of the individual parts of the original poems, but it can be conjectured that it didn’t sell well enough to warrant the production of its sequels. Which is a shame.Today I’m going to talk about why this certainly imperfect, sometimes quite pubescently crass take on the Inferno is actually totally worth playing and ... critically over-analysing. Follow me on my Journey Through Dante’s Inferno and the Nine Circles of the Infernal Underworld!As stated in the video, here’s some helpful tips if you want to emulate Dante’s Inferno (PS3) in the RPSC3 Emulator on Windows 10 (Other operating systems that the emulator supports should also work, but I haven’t tested it):docs.google.com/document/d/1SFYyUe3pgYHLsR-l5l8xRFPwxZDiBaoh0JtcPn8sDuU/edit?usp=sharing**Support the Channel**http://patreon.com/RagnarRoxShowChapters00:00 Intro03:58 Sponsor05:15 Canto I: Dante in Distress19:54 Canto II: Abandon All Hope36:22 Canto III: Horny Jail43:29 Canto IV: It’s Only Downward From Here53:39 Canti V: Ego Te Absolvo (¡Hasta La Victoria Siempre!)01:02:30 Canto VI: Honey, It’s A Video Game!01:11:40 Epilogo: Lucifer’s Coke (as in Coca-Cola of course!)01:15:37 CreditsCheck out Michael Saba’s The Story of Street Fighter: The Greatest Bad Movie Ever Madeyoutube.com/watch?v=KhzjWfvsick__CreditsCharacter Artwork: Toni Sheltontwitter.com/tcshelton87Guest Voice Cameo as Teodolina Barolini: @Quetzalyoutube.com/user/TheIceOfAlice/videosCaptions (English): Matt Coxtwitter.com/pop_primer__Sources/Gameplay CreditsStar Wars: Dark Forces [MS-DOS] | Jornada Gameryoutube.com/watch?v=ACtL1R2vztk__Music CreditsContains samples fromDante’s Inferno OST by Gary Schuman & Paul GormanDoom II OST by Rober PrinceMegaman II OST by Takashi TateishiNWA - F*ck the PoliceSolaris & Stalker OST by Eduard ArtemievShin Megami Tensei - Nocturne OST by Shoji MeguroMonkey Island 2 - Jojo The Monkey by Michael Z.

Fatal Frame 4: The Terrifying Lost Chapter (that Nintendo Abandoned) RagnarRox 2021-10-15 | After finishing the PS2-trilogy of Fatal Frame, I just couldn't get enough of the series and decided to play the never-released-in-the-West Lost Chapter of the saga: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse that came out for the Ninteno Wii exclusively in Japan in 2008. For how obscure and forgotten it is, this is a surprisingly brilliant and brutally overlooked survival horror title. Co-directed by none other than Goichu Suda aka Suda 51, it’s a brilliantly crafted, soil-your-pants-scary, genuine Fatal Frame that brings a handful of new innovations to the formula, including claustrophobia-inducing over-the-shoulder camera and hauntinly immersive motion controls, and the fact that Nintendo lets it rot in their vaults is an *unpunished capital crime*.MONSTERS OF THE WEEK: FATAL FRAME 4 - MASK OF THE LUNAR ECLIPSE#FatalFrameReview #ProjectZero #FatalFrame4 #MonstersOfTheWeekLuckily there exists a phenomenal fan translation.

Shadow Man Remastered & the Joy of Getting Lost RagnarRox 2021-09-15 | Shadow Man was a dark, enticing classic on the N64/PS1/Dreamcast and PC back in the day, and Nightdive’s Remaster got me thoroughly obsessed with it again. In this video, I talk about why I love its convoluted and inaccessible world design and how, given you bring enough patience and the will to meet the game on its own terms, the joy of getting totally lost and find your way again makes it a super-engaging, addicting early-3d-platformer open world action adventure.#ShadowMan #ShadowManRemastered #ShadowManReview #MonstersOfTheWeekMONSTERS OF THE WEEK: SHADOW MAN REMASTEREDGet Shadow Man Remastered on GOG without DRM:af.gog.com/game/shadow_man_remastered?as=1628879817Chapters00:00 Intro04:44 Part I: Michael LeRoi’s Homerian Pilgrimage12:54 Part II: The Ecstasy of Getting Lost24:05 Part III: There is No Spoon (Narrative Edition)31:37 Epilogue: Glad I didn’t have to E M U L A T E38:08 Credits__CreditsCopy Editing & Captions (English): Matt Coxtwitter.com/pop_primer__Sources/Gameplay CreditsWorld of Longplays:PC Longplay [911] Tomb Raider | Played by: Ravenlordyoutube.com/watch?v=lN-5VLPakmILifeforce Tenka / Codename Tenka - Gameplay PSX (PS One) HD 720P (Playstation classics)youtube.com/watch?v=IvUCxNElt_UThe Bard's Tale (ZX Spectrum) - Until I Die 2youtube.com/watch?v=2xUutDOdmfQ__Music CreditsContains samples fromShadow Man & Shadow Man Remastered OST by Tim HaywoodLegacy of Kain: Soul Reaver OST by Kurt HarlandRiven OST by Robyn MillerThe Bard’s Tale OSTSpongebob Squarepants by Derek Drymon, Mark Harrison, Stephen Hillenburg, Donkey Kong Country - Aquatic Ambience by David WiseRamxes - A Different Kind of Hell

Death Trash is a Post Apocalyptic RPG Dream Come True [Exclusive Preview] RagnarRox 2021-06-11 | So I’ve Got to Play DEATH TRASH (& It’s Awesome)Death Trash has been in development by Stephan Hövelbrinks and his small indie developer team Crafting Legends for the past 6 years and this demo is the first publicly available playable version. The developers offered me to play the game and report on it early and I said I’d love to check it out and see if I want to make a video on it.After playing through the 2-3 hour long demo 3 times I was eager to show you how much of a damn cool, absurd and hilarious post-apocalyptic action RPG dream come true this game is for me. I had a fantastic time.This demo will be available June 16th through 22 as part of the Steam Next Fest event, Death Trash will hit early access in late summer 2021 with a several times larger playable area and is planned for final release in 2022 for PC, Xbox One, Series S and X, Nintendo Switch as well as PS4 and PS5.Since this is an early version, bugs and glitches are to be expected.__Get Death Trashitch.io: craftinglegends.itch.io/deathtrashSteam: store.steampowered.com/app/941460?utm_source=RagnarRox__CreditsCopy Editing & Captions (English): Matt Coxtwitter.com/pop_primerGuest-Voice (William Gibson Quote): Michael Sabayoutube.com/c/MichaelSaba_Video Games shown in this video (in order of first appearance)Fallout 3 (2008), Nuclear Throne (2015), Disco Elysium (2019), Stalker Anomaly, Fallout (1997), Fallout 2 (1998), Diablo (1996), Cryostasis (2008)__Movies/TV Shows shown in this video (in order of appearance)The Simpsons (1989 –), Futurama (1999 – 2013), Escape from New York (1981), Hannibal (2013 – 2015)__Music CreditsContains samples fromFallout, Fallout 3, Fallout Tactics__Gameplay CreditsPC Longplay [639] Fallout | World of Longplaysyoutube.com/watch?v=dGZjse7uC_0Played by: JagoftroyLet's Play Fallout 2 (part 4 - Care For a Rat Stew?) | MetalCanyonyoutube.com/watch?v=it9LHod9Lmg

It was a title whose development cycle saw a lot of turbulence and its unconventional genre-blend was not well received by the gaming press at the time. But Koudelka is a forgotten gem that has so much more to offer than it seems at first glance. A refreshingly small and personal story for a JRPG in an unspent setting in early 20th century rural Wales realized with surprisingly good character, motion and voice acting for its time that’s still engaging to play – and ultimately ignited one of the most beloved series in JRPG history: Shadow Hearts.__Support RagnarRox on Patreonhttp://www.patreon.com/RagnarRoxShowFollow me on Twitterhttp://www.twitter.com/RagnarRoxShow__How to Setup Koudelka on a PS1 Emulatordocs.google.com/document/d/1RE0rcxODUBKtihKKNfqZdOie9crLM2CrDPkanysaklo/edit?usp=sharing__Jinzee’s video on Koudelkayoutube.com/watch?v=1Ly05ovkWVk__Get the CHASING STATIC Demo on Steam and add the game to your wishlist:store.steampowered.com/app/1319420/Chasing_Static__CreditsOriginal Script: Michael Sabayoutube.com/watch?v=MN2qxq3KhWIClosed Captions (English): Matt Coxtwitter.com/pop_primerFootage Recording: Jordan Pijnenburgyoutube.com/channel/UCH-SI1YuXLyAaCdR2NJKRlA__Video/Gameplay CreditsFinal Symphony - Interview with Nobuo Uematsu | Merregnon Studiosyoutube.com/watch?v=r1rbdoUmZGI[Classic Longplay] System Shock 2 [Part 1] by ShadowsRage2youtube.com/watch?v=8T-qHLifYWUUltima Underworld : Playstation Version Speedrun by dandandan5youtube.com/watch?v=quzUTPfWqbYThief: The Dark Project Review by MandaloreGamingyoutube.com/watch?v=UBN5k6WoG-sPC Longplay [1103] System Shock: Enhanced Edition by AFigureInBlackyoutube.com/watch?v=jE5LpOGMeak__Video Games shown in this video (in order of appearance)Xenogears, Final Fantasy IX, Final Fantasy VIII, Final Fantasy VII, Earthbound 2: Mother, Final Fantasy VI, Chrono Trigger, Chrono Cross, Secret of Mana, Parasite Eve, Front Mission 2, Vagrant Story, Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, Final Fantasy X, Koudelka, Fatal Fury Special, Shadow Hearts, Souikagi, Trials of Mana, System Shock 2, Ultima Underworld (PSX, Japanese Version), System Shock: Enhanced Edition, Deep Fear, Final Fantasy Tactics__Movies shown in this video (in order of appearance)Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure - Stardust Crusaders, Muppet Treasure Island__Music CreditsXenogears: Light From The NetherworldKoudelka - PatienceShadow Hearts Covenant: Prelude – Advertise ISouikagi: Ancient PowerSecret of Mana OSTRamxes: A Different Kind of HellKoudelka: WaterfallCecil Opia: ShameShadow Hearts Covenant: Old Smudged Map – Map of EuropeBaten Kaitos: Valley of the WindShadow Hearts - From the New World: Et Unam Chant Of ICAROShadow Hearts Covenant: ICARO (Piano Arrangement) – Main Theme __Contains samples fromXenogears OST by Yasunori Mitsuda, Koudelka OST by Hiroki Kikuta,Shadow Hearts Covenant OST by Yoshitaka Hirota, Yasunori Mitsuda & Kenji Ito

The game takes place on an icebound ARKTIKA class nuclear icebreaker, stuck in the north pole and it is your role to piece together the story of what went down on the unlucky ship by traveling into the deceased crew members’ memories and witnessing the events unfold from their eyes.It’s a game that deserves to be preserved, which is hard these days due to its technical limitations and difficult availability due to non-arbitrable legal differences between the developer Action Forms and their publisher 1C Company.ADDENDUM - IF YOU WANT TO GET CRYOSTASISIn the video, I say that the easiest way to get access to Cryostasis on Steam is Key Resellers, and that is true, however, please note that the game is also considered Abandonware and is available on Abandonware sites for download.

How ECHO NIGHT Defined FROM SOFTWARE’s Iconic Storytelling Style RagnarRox 2020-04-05 | #FromSoftware #EchoNightBefore FromSoftware entered their golden Age with their highly influential lineup of Action RPGs Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, they’ve been around for a while. In this video, we’re going to dig up a genuine black sheep of their early PS1 days, an experimental aberration of their otherwise more action-oriented lineup, Echo Night is an unabashedly Japanese take on the western adventure game. A chilling mystery/horror puzzler that displays many of the hallmarks that FromSoftware’s famously cryptic, asymmetric and shrouded-in-mystery type of storytelling, raw and uncut.____Help the channel out (Support me on Patreon):patreon.com/RagnarRoxShowTwitch:http://twtich.tv/ragnarroxTwitter:http://ragnarrox.com/twitterFacebook:http://ragnarrox.com/facebookDaniel Kurland - [Retrospective] The ‘Echo Night’ Games Were ‘Fatal Frame’ Before ‘Fatal Frame’bloody-disgusting.com/video-games/3582485/retrospective-echo-night-games-fatal-frame-fatal-frameCredits___Original Script: @MichaelSaba Music___TheStoryShop - SuspenseContains Music from the following soundtracks:Dark Souls, Echo Night, Echo Night 2: The Lord of NightmaresGameplay Credits___World-of-Longplays - PSX Longplay [056] King's Field (Played By: Deskawa)GetRektNoob - All Shinobi Execution in Main/Story Bosses ( ALL FINISHING MOVES ) - Sekiro Shadows Die TwiceBoss Fight Database - Bloodborne: All Bosses (1080p)World-of-Longplays - PSX Longplay - Tenchu 2: Birth of the Stealth Assassins (Played by: Spazbo4)10min Gameplay - Armored Core ...

Disco Elysium is a Role-Playing Dream Come True RagnarRox 2019-11-30 | Following its many years of development, I had hoped Studio ZA/UM's Disco Elysium would turn out to be a decent RPG that stands out by omitting a traditional combat system -- but when it came out it ended up being one of the absolute best roleplaying games I've ever played on a computer.In this video, I'm talking about how this game managed to be the first video game that gave me the feeling of playing a tabletop campaign with an actual DM.
