Albion (Epic German RPG Game from 1996)[views:9907][posts:57]___________________________________ [Mar 5,2011 1:26am - arilliusbm ""] http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/428/Albion.html This game was the shit back in the day. Very deep sci-fi/fantasy RPG. The dungeons are all in first person too. Fucking great game... it's also long and has a shit ton of dialogue. Looks like it's free now. Check it out |

| ___________________________________ [Mar 5,2011 1:11pm - arilliusbm ""] whoops, this should have been marked video game. if anyone is serious about playing this game, see how far you can get. it starts getting fucking hard. it's pretty cool when all the pagan\Viking elements are thrown in (after the first few hours of doing shit in alien city) |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 5,2011 1:59pm - BlessedOffal ""] dude this games sickkkk so far |

| ____________________________________ [Mar 5,2011 2:17pm - Randy_Marsh ""] this game rules pretty hard so far. got the key to the supply basement from the clansman but those animals in the basement keep killing me, i only have a dagger and my other bro doesn't have anything..is there another weapon somewhere? |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 5,2011 2:19pm - Randy_Marsh ""] nevermind there are youtube videos to help my punk ass. gotta look around more for barrels.. |

Wow , you're right. i can't believe some dude took all the time to actually read the dialogue and act it out a well hahaha |

| ___________________________________ [Mar 6,2011 1:48pm - arilliusbm ""] I can't remember... haven't played in years. Check the walkthru. Just make sure you check a lot of wardrobes and dressers and stuff |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 7,2011 2:50pm - BlessedOffal ""] I Downloaded and installed it on my new comp and when I hit run it just opens a window that says "Please insert the Albion CD into your drive. Thank you for playing Albion" WTF |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 7,2011 3:10pm - BlessedOffal ""] fffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 7,2011 4:03pm - arilliusbm ""] gotta get dosbox. then you got to put albion on your C:/ drive by going like this in dosbox: mount c C:\Albion C:\ dir -it will then list all the stuff in C:\Albion then just type "main" and it should run "Main.exe" if that doesn't work.. try typing "setup" to run "setup.exe" it will bring you to the sound configuration option.. just select sound blaster 16 or whatever and it should work |

| _____________________________________ [Mar 7,2011 4:15pm - BlessedOffal ""] I went through setup and everything, it still does the same gay thing. is DOS box something i need to download? |
| ___________________________________ [Mar 7,2011 4:21pm - arilliusbm ""] if you have windows XP or windows 7, albion might not work. so you need to get the dosbox thing.. you can download it here. it's a pretty small DL: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dosbox/fil...ox0.74-win32-installer.exe/download DOSBox Emulates DOS the way NEW WINDOWS SYSTEMS SHOULD BE DOING IT. FUCK YOU MICROSOFT once you install dosbox and put the "ALBION" folder on your C: drive "C:\Albion" - run DOSbox and follow those steps above it would work fine |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 7,2011 4:45pm - BlessedOffal ""] thanks. downloading DOSbox now. hopefully it'll work cuz this game has peaked my interest. |
| _____________________________________ [Mar 7,2011 5:56pm - BlessedOffal ""] It still just says 'please insert the Albion CD in your CD-ROM drive' |
| ____________________________________ [Mar 7,2011 6:02pm - Randy_Marsh ""] rossua, when in DOSbox... example: mount a c:\users\mike\desktop\downloads\albion z:>a: a:>launch.exe to setup the sound it should look like this... a:>setup.exe and then you will go to the albion configuration screen. |

| ___________________________________ [Mar 7,2011 6:45pm - arilliusbm ""] fuck. you can only download the normality CD as a premium user. that game was pretty funny. typical mid 90s stoner adventure game. kind of pissed, the version they have that you can download doesnt have the voice acting- the best thing about the game. i have the .iso ripped of the cd if anyone wants it. |

| ___________________________________ [Mar 7,2011 8:20pm - arilliusbm ""] really man? That link Eddie posted should work. Download the "cd" version from that site. there's this program called Dameon Tools that can run those disc image files which acts like the CDs in the computer. That'd work.. DL dameon tools haha. Or just give up? |
| ______________________________________ [Mar 8,2011 11:25am - BlessedOffal ""] dwarf fortress rules btw. I am awful at it because it's the most complicated thing ever, but I REFUSE to let technology win. |

| ____________________________________ [Oct 18,2011 9:42am - arilliusbm ""] You can only buy Albion on Ebay, pretty much. It was a rare game in the US to begin with. I only heard of it because the demo was on a 1995 issue of PC Games magazine. Fuck, I still have all those old demo comps. I'm gonna bust them out. |
