I have the same problem. The Exile series were some of my favorite games growing up (especially Exile III). But I haven't been able to really focus on Avernum. I keep telling myself to play through it, but it just doesn't feel the same. I have to assume it's because I personally have changed, and if I were introduced to Exile today I'd probably have some choice words about the UI. But the nostalgia factor is really high.
- freehunter 12y agoI played the original on my 486-DX2 and loved it. Countless hours I played that. I just picked up the demo of the remake (Avernum: Escape from the Pit) on my Windows tablet, and it works perfectly. It's not made for touch in any way, but the touch mostly just works. There are only a handful of situations where I wish the controls were improved, but the UI, while not modern, works just fine. Try the remake. The demo is free.
- eridius 12y agoI actually bought Avernum: Escape from the Pit on both my iPad and on Steam. And I still haven't put more than an hour into it (on either platform). Really, I think the biggest difference is just that I don't have as much time to play games as I did growing up, and there are exponentially more games now that demand my attention than there were back then.
