Official Description (Ad Blurb)

In Old School Computer Game (OSCG) you create a party of adventurers and explore a sandbox world, completing quests and accumulating treasure and experience as you go. In OSCG, I have attempted to re-create the fun of my favorite computer role-playing games from the late 1980s and early 1990s. The interface is a mash-up of early PC and console games; minimalist art conveys the game while leaving the details to your imagination. Features

  • 13 classes: bards, clerics, druids, fighters, magic-users, monks, paladins, psionicists, rangers, thieves, dwarves, elves and halflings
  • 17 kits and 7 spell school specializations to choose from (there are 136 possible class/kit/school combinations)
  • 199 spells for magic-users, 56 spells for clerics, 79 spells for druids, and 34 powers for psionicists
  • 450 opponents to encounter and defeat (and another 323 subtle variants)
  • 2601 magical items to find and use (including 4 end-game reward artifacts)
  • a large, randomly-generated world map to explore, featuring hundreds of dungeons, ruins, castles, towers and pyramids
  • over 250 quests to complete (a mix of randomly-generated and hand-crafted content)

The game is written in Java, and will run on Windows and Linux computers. To run the game, you must have Java 17 or later installed on your computer. If you do not already have it installed (or have an older version installed), you can freely download the latest Java version from Oracle (https://www.oracle.com/java/technologies/downloads/) or Java.net (https://jdk.java.net/). Developing OSCG has been my hobby for over thirteen years. Your feedback, especially constructive criticism, is most welcome.
