• FREE: King of Dragon Pass (IndieGala)

    This is a pretty good one, played KoDP ages ago and actually bought the
    digital version again real cheap a few months back (had it originally on
    disc). I understand it plays a bit like Oregon Trail, which I haven't
    played.

    I'm kinda tempted to get that on the iPad as it seems well suited to
    that format and it's set in the Runequest world.

    I already have it on disk, GOG and Steam, so I'll pass as well.

    I don't remember the game that fondly anyway, although it's been years
    since I've played it (when did it originally come out, 2005?). It's a
    weird mix of text-heavy "choose-your-own-adventure" style adventure
    and strategy that never really appealed to me. Plus, there's always
    been something about Glorantha - the RuneQuest setting - that rubbed
    me the wrong way.

    But thanks for the update.

    I always thought the duck race was funny, but I've never played let alone
    read RuneQuest and have no idea what sets it appart. I'd be happy to
    try it if I ran across a game.

    This is almost intriguing enough to register there, almost.
