Just picked up from Richard Cobbett’s twitter, it appears that Interplay are re-releasing Planescape Torment. Its release date is listed as the 30th October and the price is a — not-much-change-from-the-nature-of-twenty-quid — 17.99 of your Earth pounds. In fact, it appears to be a whole load of Interplay other material too. It’s a surprise to see a decade-old game released at a mid-range price… but it’s also one that I find hard to argue against. A game that’s still placing high in all-time lists, that’s been unavailable for years, that goes for full-price when it turns up on eBay and hasn’t been superseded in any way. If the gaming equivalent of the Beatle’s price never going down and this means that Dan Gril has no excuse but to finally return Alec’s copy to him. Hand it back, you bast.

Free as in, free from its confines to rare physical media, that is. You still have to buy it (again, should that be the case).

So maybe a decade-old D&D game won't get your heart fluttering, but know that it is, at the very least, a mind-fuck of a title. And because it's old and doesn't use 3D, it's actually gorgeous, as opposed to geometric, pixellated diarrhea like most sorta-old games.

Man, have you looked at these rules, though... I can't believe I memorized them all at one point have never bothered with them, ever. Pshaw.
