Hi Everyone,

I have been looking for the two old (some people think crappy) Dark Sun PC Games.

-DarkSun: Shattered Lands
-DarkSun: Wake of the Ravager

I have found a couple "diskonly" copies on ebay, but if anyone has either one of these games used I would be interested in buying it from you. I don't really care if the box comes with it, just the necessary disks/cd and the manuals. Please send any info. to my email [email]garnett1@gmail.com[/email]


Thank you very much

Lance

who says they're crappy? they're my favourite games!

check out "http://dso.zidev.com/downloads.html" they have them up there for free, with manuals, official manuals (thanks to me ) & other stuff... i am not sure if they work because i have the cd's, but give them a try!

They're not crappy! I just ran DS1 on my Dos emulator!

Hell, DS2 is what got me into (C)RPGs after all... :D

Truth be told, they do have their share of bugs. I remember not being able to finish the games because of some of those bugs - and the patches didn't do me much help either

I managed to finish both... I played the two games so many times I could detect where were the bugs and just avoid then..(as you avoid stepping on a puddle, for example).

These two games were responsible for dragging me into the RPG world... and I also hold them responsible for Dark Sun Brasil and all the love and admiration I have for this campaign setting!!!

I definitely don't think they are crappy at all! I love these two games and I did not realize there were others out there that can say these DarkSun games were some of their first D&D experience. Thanks for the help.

I wonder if I ever hit one of those... I could never finish shattered lands. Either that or I'm just stuck trying to figure out where to go next.

I just got my hands on DS1 not too long ago. It was awesome. I mean, to play a game from a setting that I've loved for a long time. Wow. I'm trying to get wake of the ravager but it's proving to be difficult. I tried the link provided above with Ds1 and 2 for free but could not make DS2 work at all.
I read though that you could bring your PCs from DS1 into DS2. I'd like to know if it was a good thing about the game. comments?
