DOS Games Discussion

Why do I have to log in everytime I visit even though I check the "Log me in whenever I visit" box?

Then it would technically be Akalabeth (Ultima 0) for Apple II.
It's barely an RPG. All that happens is you visit the castle and Lord British tells you to kill a type of monster, then you go into a dungeon, coming up periodically to buy things from the town (which is all you can do in town).

I thought it was 1961, but I guess it's 1962.

Both Wizardry and The Bard's Tale were written for and released on the Apple II... what makes you think they're DOS?
