How to run betrayal at krondor on dosbox Videos

I bought the strategy guide for this game back in the day. It was thicker than a bible.

Love this game to core! I still enjoy playing this ultimate dos game! Thanx to dos box :-)

Ah Ok, ich verwende zusätzlich zur DosBox das eigens dafür entwickelte und kostenlose Fontend D-Fend Reloaded. Damit kann man ohne ne Config-Datei schreiben zu müssen eine Datenbank anlegen und braucht, die richtigen Einstellungen vorrausgesetzt, seine Dos-Spiel nur noch aus ner Liste zu wählen.

Long story short, I've actually played through this game and beat it. It's probably one of the longest DOS games I ever come across because there is literally no less than a couple dozen cutscenes along with a keen eye for detail. There was so much detail put into this game. Not so much in the graphics (although even some of the graphics like the characters themselves looked quite good for the time), but the story, the character dialogue, the mystery and suspense in it all, etc. Even right clicking on the currencies (gold sovereigns and silver royals) has a detailed description. You can literally spend hours upon hours just reading through all the text in this game. It's quite fascinating. It's a real tragedy that not many people know about this. Even back in 1993-1994 it couldn't compete with things like DOOM, which single-handedly changed everything to where adventure and RPG games on the PC were put to the back burner. Basically it's much easier to design a game based on killing anything in your path with almost no story. Raymond E Feist put a lot of work into his novels, and I can imagine Neal Hallford spent a lot of time writing the story for this game. Betrayal at Krondor was truly a real gem. I hope in the near future to do a Let's Play on this game, and it's not bad for starting out for a Let's Player. There's really not many games left at this point in time that haven't already been done on Youtube, and this game in particular has already been done by a few people. But I suppose I could fill in seeing that I've actually played through the first three chapters in BaK no less than five-six times, so I already have a good bit of experience. Everything that John is saying here is true and I agree completely.

Glad to hear you like it, always makes it alot more worthwhile uploading these.:) BaK is definitely a great game, a pity we will probably never see another game like it because of how the video game industry is these days

I really enjoy how you go into detail about the features, spells and buttons. Personally it irritates me when someone decides to jump right in a game without really explaining what something is, they assume you've played the game when you may of not played it or it's been well over a decade since you did. Despite knowing this game quite well (and being able to go through the first three chapters rather easily) it's still good for me to learn a few things here and there, even if they're basic. One thing to take note is recording video can be a drain on your computer, which makes everything, including the game slow down.
