Al-Qadim: The Genie's Curse

In all the years I've been discussing RPGs I don't think I've ever seen one person mention this game. I've been aware of it, but I've never played it.



Has anyone here actually played it?

Next AG game?

It has been a while, but it is more of an action/console like game with AD&D character development.

I guess it is ok if you like that, but it was such change from the original systems that it didn't do as well.

You should really setup a system with ExoDOS, you can install and play these games on the fly very quickly.

@rusty_shackleford , have you ever toyed with DOSBox emulation through a web browser?

I have always wondered about setting up this on my server and running ExoDOS over the local network through a web interface where you could browse the library, do a quick on demand install and play it through the browser using js-DOS API.

I wonder how this would work over the internet as well.

I think there are a few sites that already do what you are talking about: https://classicreload.com/shard-of-spring.html

I bought a copy from GOG when I picked up the other classic D&D games... but I haven't had time to try it yet.

Looks like it was developed by the same company that made Entomorph.
