Good indie RPGs: What is out there (beside Eschalon)?

[noname]

I, too, can play some Windows stuff. Have my Mac partioned (is that the word?) but I hate having to do a click fest to get to it.

Partitioned. I was going to do that, or use Parallels, but never did. My brother who works at Microsoft even kindly sent me Windows once.

I'm definitely going to do it on the next Mac system I get - I think all modern Macs have Boot Camp pre-installed(?). So it's just a question of partitioning the hard drive, and getting a hold of a version of Windows...

(...though which version of Windows to get, for maximum game playability/compatability, was always what I was unsure of - Is Windows 7 the best choice here?... )

I have never upgraded to windows 7 simply because I like to play old games. windows 7 is not compatible with many or most older games.

Personally i think win 7 is this decades XP, and maybe even a bit better if you take the time to get used to it and learn its features.

Ive heard very mixed reviews of 8 and personally wouldnt bother with it.

win 7 plays all my games perfectly, except for maybe diablo. But if i remember right, there are ways to get it running, i just chose not to bother.

Im sure there are some games out there it wont play still, but ive not seen many lately.

Well, I don't know. I run the windows 7 upgrade advisor and it tells me that I will have problems running many of my games so I have just left well enough alone. I have no trouble running almost any game available even the newest on my XP Pro so I figure why change. Someday I know I'll have to upgrade but until then. I agree, windows 8 looks inadvisable.

You probably play your older games more than i do.

If you can, post a few up and ill let you know if i still play them and if they work. We may have some games in common(im betting we all do )

Thanks for the mention of Driftmoon - I recommend it, rather linear but quite enjoyable.
