Originally Released: July 13th, 2013 ------------------------------------------ The Kroz series of games probably amounts to one of the best things ever made in text mode and is a big part of what led to the creation of Apogee. It's a shame they're currently not available from the newly reformed 3D Realms website, though I've been told there are plans to bring back some of the really old titles... I wasn't given a timeframe though... :/ ------------------------------------------ Additional Information and Corrections: * Actually, the power rings do show up properly in some Kroz games and not in others. I think it depends on if they're being displayed using +1, +2, +3 etc., or if they're simply showing +, ++, +++, etc. * There’s a few minor things I neglected to really talk about in the video, one of which is the difficulty selection at the start: Novice, Experienced and Advanced. Higher difficulty settings simply reduce your starting resources and may also alter a few of the things found in some of the levels. Overall though, the effect is minimal. * The sideways levels are also kinda weird, as they play like a platformer, except without being able to jump. Not every Kroz game has these. * You can also pick up the letters K R O Z in each level, and doing so in the correct order is worth bonus points. Spelling words for points is a tradition that carried over into numerous other Apogee titles. (Though spelling words for points traces its routes back to pinball before video games even existed! ;) * “Kroz” is “Zork” spelled backwards! :D ------------------------------------------ Pixelmusement Website: http://www.pixelships.com ADG on Pixelmusement: http://www.pixelships.com/adg Alphabetical Index of ADG Episodes: http://www.pixelships.com/adg/index2.html
