This is part of a let's play I posted to YouTube in *2011* (except this part and the next were in 2012), and I'm now uploading to DTube. --- After not doing anything with this for *far* too long, I'm finally back at it. And I increased the speed of the modem simulation to ~4800 bps, since I decided 1200 was too slow and might cause problems in the castle. (Actually, I think 4800-bps modems were less common, but I didn't want to go to 9600.) Turns out it wasn't that much of an issue, but I liked the faster speed. We enter a castle under a mountain, where we see the same dreamy fantasy world... or not. In fact, the tone takes a decidedly cynical turn as we get deep inside. Oh, and there's a nasty dragon inside, although not really as dangerous as he's made out to be. Although he can inflict physical harm, he's unlikely to one-hit kill you as long as you stay healed, there's a good chance he'll teleport away even if you just stand there and do nothing, and all you have to do to escape is move one room away. More things *The Legend of Kyrandia* "borrowed": * A large castle that has been abandoned. Well, maybe we can let this one go, seeing as lots and LOTS of fantasy settings include castles. * Someone named Brin (except this one is male, with an accordingly different spelling). * Surprisingly not much else from this castle, even though *LoK* has a large castle in it as well. The cryptogram in the odd-shaped cave: HQOFOWY ASITPQNM IFQNPYTUVC QOTMAY GIOEM LOOPAS ASIT, ILLIADA FALGORIA SIMAJF. UNALOOP LA HEARTOY. Funny how it suddenly becomes pronounceable around ⅓ of the way through. Most substitution ciphers don't do that, do they? I recommend viewing this at no less than 360p; the text is almost illegible at 240p. Here is the first part of my map of this game: [![Dark forest map](https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmXriD3mhdji71dKaGWjkWybVmDnmsNn1ezX2zjQEDNXQN/kyrandia-darkforest.png)](https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmXriD3mhdji71dKaGWjkWybVmDnmsNn1ezX2zjQEDNXQN/kyrandia-darkforest.png) A map of the golden forest: [![Golden forest map](https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmXriD3mhdji71dKaGWjkWybVmDnmsNn1ezX2zjQEDNXQN/kyrandia-goldforest.png)](https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmXriD3mhdji71dKaGWjkWybVmDnmsNn1ezX2zjQEDNXQN/kyrandia-goldforest.png) A map of the castle: [![Castle map](https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmXriD3mhdji71dKaGWjkWybVmDnmsNn1ezX2zjQEDNXQN/kyrandia-castle.png)](https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmXriD3mhdji71dKaGWjkWybVmDnmsNn1ezX2zjQEDNXQN/kyrandia-castle.png) And finally, the *full* map: [![Full map of Kyrandia](https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmXriD3mhdji71dKaGWjkWybVmDnmsNn1ezX2zjQEDNXQN/kyrandia-fullmap.png)](https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmXriD3mhdji71dKaGWjkWybVmDnmsNn1ezX2zjQEDNXQN/kyrandia-fullmap.png)
