Default Rollers of the Realm - RPG…With Pinballs?

November 24th, 2014, 21:29
Yep. That's also a slightly soiled spot against the game. Gold grinding is needed to buy all mercenaries and outfit them. Not necessary, probably, but not too onerous either. There's lots of playing fields to go back to.

Thanks for the link, but the site won't let me log into my account, and there is no way to contact the moderators for help, from what I can tell. Not a good sign, when something that basic isn't even supported, and has lots of sluggish ads on the front page.

hmm I donīt think that you need to be logged in to download the files but I havenīt used the site for a while since iīve already downloaded enough tabes to keep me playing for a while

anyway you can try this site as well I think they are dedicated to another emulator that I donīt like personally since it scrolls the table following the ball but they still have all the files for virtualpinball as well including the tables I think they mirror each other

Yeah, I can't download the latest versions. Then the site wants to install some special downloader when I click on "regular download", which in my experience can be major malware. Yikes!

Yeah, this stuff is really poorly described. Important things like what's is in the various packages and how they differ is not obvious. Definitely a project to get this installed.

EDIT: Now I remember. I looked at these simulations years ago, and found them so difficult to get working, that I gave up on them. Sad, as there seems to be a lot of good work there.

Well I'm glad they have worked out well for you. For me it appears too scattered, which will inevitably lead to more frustration than fun for me.


EDIT: Well, now I can log into vpforums. I hope I can download from them without being forced to use their "downloader".

EDIT 2: Rollers has been patched to add checkpoints in the finale.

Heh, just when I completed my party setup and upgraded everyone. Was going to tackle the final level tonight. Will still do, of course. Otherwise, I agree about this part of the game. I would have preferred the story to continue a bit to include the four hirelings.

Finished!

The final level took me by surprise and before I knew what was really going on all of my ten characters died… but since the patch let me try again immediately, I made it on the second try. Would have had another hour in front of me otherwise. Anyway, fun game.

Congrats! Yeah a direct hit to the boss usually results in an immediate drain. Tough.

@mprod

I got VPinball installed and running one of my old favorites.

Fireball!

Good times. Thanks for your help!

Ah, no, that was actually quite easy. When he eventually came forward the thief eviscerated him from the left and right in quick succession. No worries there. But what I ignored was the function of the secondary flippers. And if you shoot them balls straight up, straight down they fall again on the right side, straight to their deaths …

It kind of reminds me of "Wizorb" which was a combination of Arkanoid and an RPG. Really not a bad game actually.

Checkout the 3-d virtual tour of the Pinball Hall of Fame. If I ever go to Vegas again I'm definitely checking it out!

I doubt that I will ever get to vegas, if I finally get to cross the pond itīs not really on top of my list of places to visit.
That said I would love to go there and if I should happen to do so I will certainly try to visit Pinball Hall of Fame
Perhaps I can go there with my last quarters after Iīve lost the rest of my money at the black jack and pokertables in the futile belief that my superior intellect would enable me to beat the house
