Hey guys,
One great thing about the old RPGs for classic computers (and one thing Bioware / Black Isle tried to sort of "resurrect" in their Infinity Engine) was the fact that you could take characters from one game and import them into an entirely different game.
I thought it might be really interesting to list which games were part of this collected "canon," and which games accepted which other games' characters. I'll start:
Might & Magic 2 (MM1)
Bard's Tale II (BT1)
Bard's Tale III (BT1, 2)
Dragon Wars (BT1, 2, 3)
I've been trying to check this out some more but it's hard to research without manuals and such. Other candidates, I believe, might be:
-Times of Lore
-Wasteland
-Mines of Titan
-Ultima series
-Wizardry series
Even when I run the games, it's not always clear from the options (and without a manual) which games can import which characters.
