Hey, many, many thanks! That's much more than I have dreamt of! I am checking those sites right now as well as your article.
Revliskci Thanks for the info, I already took notice about Arena, but somehow I couldn´t tweak DOSBOX to make the game run at decent frame rate.

Well, I thought about it, but I'm not too fond of Nethack. I find ADOM to be so much more interesting, deep and consistent. I don't like Nethack's everything-and-the-kitchen-sink mentality. Oh well. A lot of people love it, though.

It's true, it does have kitchen sinks. I can't argue with that.

Just downloaded it myself, as a matter of fact. You can find it here:
http://www.elderscrolls.com/downloads/downloads_games.htm
And a manual, since the one that comes with the download is woefully inadequate for an RPG:

| Deleted User | While we are at it, there is a nice commercial RPG construction kit out there called RPG Maker 2000 (2003). I think a search in google might bring many pages with downloadable games. Sorry the pages I know are all in German. Doing a quick search myself I found this page for example: http://www.bur.st/~rpgxst/rpgmaker/rpgmaker2000.html
Most of the games look like old SNES titles like Zelda, the early 6 Final Fantasies or Chrono Trigger.
