Coming Soon (Hopefully): REALMS OF QUEST V




I've been away from the online VIC-20 community for the past few years, but I have been mulling over what I'd like to do for a new Realms of Quest game. Some of the features that I have in mind are:

-32K RAM expansion required (lesser expansion modes will not be supported this time around)
-multiple disk sides (will play on a single disk drive, but to avoid excessive disk swapping the game works best on an SD card reader or 2 disk drives)
-hundreds of monster, character and scenery portraits (44*88 multicolor pixels)
-16 player races and 16 player classes
-A party can have up to 10 player characters (I think this would be a record for 8 bit RPGs)
-printed game manual and box
-game music
-An overland map that exceeds the Ultima IV world in terms of size
-cities to explore and townspeople to talk to (possibly).
