Aaahahahaha I'm such a geek.
Got badly stuck on level 59... can't seem to get past the cavalcade of wizards. I did once, and then Druaga raped me in the ass. So I am checking out
Strategywiki, though I'm not certain how much good it will do as there are a few corrections I could make to their text. In the meantime I run into obscenely cute things like
this and
this, which feeds my inner(?) geek to no end.
Then there's all this "Druaga Online" stuff... I have no idea what that's all about.
Whether I end up being able to beat it or not, I've got to get my hands on the other games. There are no less than five sequels. I find it hilarious how popular it is in Japan and how UNpopular it is here. Playing it reminds me of Zork... you have to do X to get the Y to get the Z, and you need Z or else you're fucked when you get to level 30. It's obscenely frustrating and incredibly addictive.
I'm not a very good gamer... I'm just persistent.
