It took me about five very lazy years to finish Diablo (and not the expansion pack). So I'm not scheduled to finish Diablo II 'til about 2008 :) I'm still working on The Settlers II, even though I believe IV has been out for a while now. Also in the wings waiting to be completed are Black & White, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, Q3A, Discworld Noir, and probably a few others besides. Then on the Dreamcast there's Sonic Adventure II, Metropolis Street Racer, Speed Devils, Phantasy Star Online (offline)... Don't think I'll be buying any games for a while. Come to think of it, I never did get to the end of Bard's Tale on my C64! John needs way more spare time on his hands.

Right now, I'm waiting on Neverwinter Nights, which may possibly be the last game I buy for a long time. And no, that doesn't mean I'll be downloading free games or ISOs...

Some it wouldn't let me move, like my level 4096 Ninja I got by cheating and switching disks when it checked for experience. Wizardy 1, 2 and 3 were easy to fool. Problem is that the level 4096 Ninja took about 3 to 5 minutes to calculate the damage it took, and then displayed it in scientific notation (1.2E+33 damage on the Kobalt). That 1Mhz 6502C chip could only run so fast. I later got Bard's Tale for the Amiga 1000 I had. It was fun for a while. *I am free now, to choose my own destiny.*
