A Blast From the Past
Here is my first .Net project, compiled against the .Net 1.1 framework. It's an applet that forgoes those ridiculous translation wheels you used when you bought one of the original Dungeons & Dragons games back in the day (is that Wednesday?). You know, the ones where you lined up characters from Elven and Dwarfic alphabets to get a codeword which you entered into the game.

It covers Hillsfar, Pools of Radiance, and Curse of the Azure Bond and weighs in at a whopping 80k. Click below to download it and all the source code.

I think the nerd quotient on this post is somewhere around 9.8.

Where's the .exe?!?

GOD, it's BORING!

There's only about 4 copies or so in that zip.

Try /bin/debug or /bin/release.

Oh, did you mean the game exe's? I have those on a dvd somewhere in the archives.
