Ah, Vegetation day.
Silly me… working hard all week. I should have known better than to not be born to parents who are filthy fucking rich.
I spent today doing laundry and playing around with my Amiga emulator again. Not so much actually playing, as still making “configuration files” that allow me to load the games I do have with all the right settings already made.
I got to the “L”s today, and spent a bit of time playing a game called “Lords of the Realm”.
Here are some screenshots:
I haven’t played this original version much, but I do play the sequel a lot.
That’s actually a scan I made myself of the CD cover. It was uploaded by yours truly to Wikipedia back when I was a regular editor there. Then it was deleted because it was a copyright violation. Then it was re-uploaded in a smaller version, which isn’t a copyright violation. Wikipedia is a weird place.
I play that sequel quite regularly… it usually takes up an entire day when I do. Vegetation day of course. Here are some screenshots of the sequel. I didn’t make these myself, I just grabbed em off the net:
Makes me want to play that game tomorrow.
The music in the original is horrible and repetitive. The music in LOTR2 is actually very good. I even have the high-quality audio file from the CD edited together into a really nice song on my iPod. It’s an acoustic guitar, flute and synth diddy. Very medieval sounding, and one of the most relaxing pieces of music I know actually. Funny how some video game music can be so damn good.
Check out the music in this YouTube video.
