Role Playing on Pocket PC


Role Playing on Pocket PC

Dungeons and Dragons, the very first role-playing game, was also the first game to be programmed on a computer. At those times, a computer was not a small box connected to a monitor or a TV. It was a room full of huge steel cabinets. These computers could only display text; they had nothing like billion color displays or surround sound of today's PCs. Yet, role-playing games were still available in text-only mode.

Just imagine gameplay where a computer would print something like "You are in a dark room." You would type "Light lantern with match", and the computer would reply with "This room appears to be a library. There's a table with a crystal ball in the center. You also see bookshelves, ladder, and a door leading east."
Was it fun to play? Sure, at the time, it was!

Luckily, modern role-playing games are very far from those of the early days of computers. Today's computer fits in the palm of your hand, and today's role-playing game displays pictures and animations, and produces realistic sounds to make the process even more fun!

by is a great modern role-playing game. It's small enough to fit even into the busiest person's PDA, while sports crisp graphics and a dynamic sound track.
Unlike simpler based role-playing games, includes not one but four unique stories with four unique characters to enjoy. (Spoiler: there is a hidden fifth character somewhere in the game!) You'll get endless hours of fun and entertainment with free exploration of open-ended, quest-style gameplay.

Personally, while I haven't played this one extensively yet, I'd actually recommend Arvale II for folks new to the series. I found it a lot easier to get into for some reason. Also, just a minor correction to your mini review here. In the fourth paragraph it should say Arvale: Short Tales by PDAMill, since it was PDAMill, and not Handster, that created the game. Thanks for the review!
