Have been messing around with some of my favourite retro-games.
For example, Dragon Wars. I hacked the DOS version gently in order to explore parts that are not available while playing. One fruit is the attached complete 32x47 world map of Dilmun. This map includes two small islands in the far east that I've never seen on any other map, although one of them is visible from Freeport's island. My party has walked on them! (Alas, both islands are empty.)

Concept Art: Dragon Wars Remastered
"With the passing of Rebecca Heineman today, I wanted to share some images from her last, now forever unfinished project. She was working on amazing stuff right up until the end.
It was Dragon Wars remastered.
Jennell Jaquays was art directing."

Sad this morning to hear that Rebecca "Burger Becky" Heineman, designer of "Dragon Wars" and "Bard's Tale 3", the person who legendarily ported "Doom" to the 3DO in *ten weeks*, the person responsible for archiving the code to "Fallout" 1 and 2, is in the midst of losing her battle with lung cancer and has been told by the doctors to expect "1-4 days".
#DragonWars is my favorite #crpg of all time, and the work I put in to DragonJars is dedicated to her. A true legend of the gaming industry.
Okay, this is not really what I wanted from my #DragonWars obsession, but if I have any reach at all in the #retrogaming fandom, I'm sure gonna use it for this:
Rebecca "Burger" Heineman, the original developer of Dragon Wars, is currently and suddenly sick with cancer and needs help with her medical bills. If you're a fan of her work (DW, BT3, many others) and you're at all able to do so, please consider tossing a few bucks at her GoFundMe: https://gofund.me/f56915039
DragonJars 1.0 is published! https://github.com/fraterrisus/dragonjars
This is the result of several years of labor to decompile, deconstruct, debug, and rebuild the engine that powers Dragon Wars (1990). If you love the game half as much as I do, check it out! It's got some nice quality-of-life features that make the game more fun. You will need your own copy of the IBM PC data files, though; I can't distribute those without violating copyright.
