| Blackthorne | Interplay Productions (Blizzard Entertainment) | 1994 | Interplay provides a version of this game to download from battle.net. Comes packaged for play on Windows using DOSbox or an alternative package for Mac using DOSbox. The executable zip file is encrypted preventing it from being run on non-windows systems without using Windows emulation. Once installed, the game should theoretically work on DOS, FreeDOS, or most any system DOSbox runs on. However, Blackthorne's the setup executable is not included making sound configuration especially problematic. This game is not Freeware. Blizzard retains full copyright and the downloaded version includes and EULA restating Blizzard's ownership. No right to redistribute or otherwise treat this version as Freeware is granted by Blizzard.***[b]from another world[/b] - you're actually native, but was transported as an infant into another world where you grew up, and now you've returned to bring your royal boot to the Face of Evil.

| Stonekeep | Interplay (Interplay Productions) | 1995 | Latest version: 1.2 (as of ?)***[b]sorcery[/b] - requires a magic staff onto which you inscribe combinations of magic runes that produce various effects, modified by meta runes and so forth (in the tag's grey area) --- averted ambidextrous - has no significant gameplay effect. simply determines which mouse button activates it and which hand on the screen uses it. ergo, this is primarily a graphical gimmick. no way to swap handedness without dragging and dropping the tools between hands.***The scan of the box art is flawed only because my scanner can't really scan the hologram on it (I'm not sure any scanner can). You can see this rainbowy thing behind and around the front skeleton and another skeleton in the rainbow, but in reality it should be silvery/chrome-white and the second skeleton barely visible.***Immerse yourself in an epic experience more powerful and realistic than anything you've imagined.
