Not just text I was reading but a voice! I real person’s voice! I was immersed. “Can’t a fellow drink in peace!” Sorry! I didn’t know I was disturbing you. Starting just outside of town, I wandered around not sure where I was supposed to go but I seen a man sitting by a house so I went to talk to him. Having played Light Crusader the first thing I felt was the similarity with the two games being in isometric view. I played one in Gauntlet Legends and I loved playing as the warrior wizard in the Sega-Genesis game Light Crusader. Of course I am going to go with my favorite arch-type, the caster. Only three characters to choose from… Warrior, Sorcerer, Rogue. I wasn’t sure what I was going to experience. It was so crazy to see these graphics although I did play the Resident Evil games this gave me Resident Evil vibes. A swinging shutter on a window in a ghost town, a crow pecking the eyeball out of a corpse. I remember vividly BLIZZARD NORTH splash screen and then opening into the first cinematic of the game.
I played these two games extensively in single player and even dabbled with the Unreal Editor. My father just had brought home a Voodoo 3 Video Graphics Card. It all started back in 1998 playing games on a Windows 98 computer with intel Pentium Processor and 64MB of ram.
