So I've been playing Seth Able's Legend of the Red Dragon II: The New World (aka LORD2) for the past month and a half or so. The above is the "DAILY NEWS" - that's all my achievements for today (starting @ 12 midnight) using up all daily turns. The game is a top-overhead console style Multi-player RPG for BBSes that uses ANSI graphics. I really love this game - I used to actually own a legitimate copy back in the 90s that I ran locally on my Packard Bell Intel 133MHZ Win95 machine. I had purchased it because none of the local dialup BBSes ran it; they only ran the original L.O.R.D.
LORD2, having been released in 1992, will be 20 years old this year!

So far I'm looking good. Just look at those stats! And I already have the Cloud Sword. In another week or so, once my Alignment is at 100, I'll have completed (half) the game. I'm playing the good side, which is much harder but way more rewarding. Afterwards, I'll commit many bad deeds and get the evil ending (yeah, there's several endings to this game. woo.)

At any rate, more people should login and play with me on Convolution.Us However, don't use the FLASH terminal on their website, as it isn't FULLY ANSI compliant and doesn't display all the characters; instead, use one of the terminal programs listed on their front page - I recommend mTelnet.
