Betrayal at Krondor & Return to Krondor

[job32]

Simple question for any that may have played these. Is it worth the effort to get these games running? I have the latter game downloaded and possibly can get it running. I like some Sierra games, dislike other Sierra games.
Are they any good, if anyone has played them?

Wowww I haven't thought about those in decades. I remember really liking Betrayal at Krondor, but it's been so long I don't have anything specific to point out.

No worries. Just might be worth a go at some stage, If I can get it running. Might not.

Wow I remember these games from when I was a kid. A 7 year old me got freaked out because I played it expecting an E rated RPG, and it had some dark moments.

I think Betrayal at Krondor might be worth your time (should be pretty easy in DosBox!), if you are okay with slightly dated CRPGs. Not like "tons of jank" or "have to make a specific build or lose" oldschool, but just not quite modern. I've heard Return is a stinker, but never played it. Post what you think if you give it a try!

Haven't played it, but if it piques your interest then definitely check it out! I love a lot of old school RPGs and find many have a sort of depth that most modern RPGs lack, which is enough for me to look past the jankiness present in them. Are you planning on running it through DOSBox? If so, I'm sure myself and many others here would be happy to help you out with any roadblocks you encounter!

GOG I believe has these games fully working-- Betrayal at Krondor is incredible!
