Rather than being an actual game, Forgotten Realms: Unlimited Adventures could be described as a game-creation toolkit. A still active online community grew up around this concept, and there are hundreds of modules free to download and play for anyone who owns Unlimited Adventures. Most of the modules published for the original Advanced D&D game are available, along with many original adventures.** | Rather than being an actual game, Forgotten Realms: Unlimited Adventures could be described as a game-creation toolkit.

Nous nous pencherons brièvement sur le chargement des modules complémentaires dans le Retrogaming Revisité de ce mois-ci. |

+ | Historique de la série Gold Box Adventure | ||
+ | |||
+ | Comme vous vous en souvenez sans doute, à la fin des années 80 et au début des années 90, SSI (Strategic Simulations Inc.) a produit une série de jeux Advanced Dungeons & Dragons pour DOS appelée la série Gold Box. Ils utilisaient un moteur de jeu commun et vous permettaient de jouer à AD&D contre votre ordinateur. Les titres de la Gold Box comprenaient Pool of Radiance, Curse of the Azure Bonds, Gateway to the Savage Frontier, et d' | ||

+ | Plutôt qu'un véritable jeu, Forgotten Realms : Unlimited Adventures pourrait être décrit comme une boîte à outils de création de jeux. Une communauté en ligne toujours active s'est développée autour de ce concept, et des centaines de modules peuvent être téléchargés et joués gratuitement par tous ceux qui possèdent Unlimited Adventures. La plupart des modules publiés pour le jeu original Advanced D&D sont disponibles, | ||

**Remember last month we made a note of where FRUA was installed, by default at Home\GOG Games\Forgotten Realms Unlimited Adventures. This is where we’ll need to place our downloaded and unzipped modules. Let’s try with the classic AD&D adventure, ‘The Tomb of Horrors’. | **Remember last month we made a note of where FRUA was installed, by default at Home\GOG Games\Forgotten Realms Unlimited Adventures.

In actuality, back when I was playing pen and paper D&D, I played almost exclusively as a Dungeon Master, as opposed to as a player. In one of the rare exceptions, I played a single session of TOH, unfortunately Dungeon Mastered by a very poor DM who went out of his way to run the session as a confrontation between him and the players (very much NOT in the spirit of how the game of D&D is intended to be run). I did purchase my own copy and read through it later, becoming resentful that this particular DM was not providing the players with information that he was supposed to convey. This largely explained why the game session was so frustrating that no one wanted to return to it (which is absolutely a predictable result of the confrontational approach to Dungeon Mastering).** | In actuality, back when I was playing pen and paper D&D, I played almost exclusively as a Dungeon Master, as opposed to as a player.

**Fortunately for me, this all took place literally decades ago, so I’ve forgotten pretty much every specific aspect of the module since originally reading it. FRUA therefore gives me an opportunity to experience the module as a single player (with a genuinely NEUTRAL DM in the form of the computer). | **Fortunately for me, this all took place literally decades ago, so I’ve forgotten pretty much every specific aspect of the module since originally reading it.

There is a ‘data’ folder under the game folder for FRUA and this is where we’ll need to extract the contents of game23.zip. First, we’ll need to open the File Manager, and navigate to the game install location. Open the ‘data’ folder and right click a blank area, then select ‘New Folder’. We have to maintain an 8 character naming convention followed by ‘.dsn’ to work with FRUA, so we’ll harness the power of imagination to name it ‘TOH.dsn’ (shown top right).** | There is a ‘data’ folder under the game folder for FRUA and this is where we’ll need to extract the contents of game23.zip.

Once the game has launched and you’ve bypassed the copy protection, you’ll get a screen with multiple game options. The one we’re looking for is Select a Design. Click that with your sword pointer and you’ll see an option screen including S1: Tomb of Horrors. Select that option. Click Select at the bottom of the screen. Prepare to actually enter The Tomb of Horrors!
