The Elder Scrolls: Arena (Dos Times Review)

The first game in the elder scroll series.

This is the first time I actually wrote out a full review of a game before doing any video editing and I think it worked out well. Normally I just record video, edit and think about what to say while editing. Then the videos come out too long and I end up cutting a ton of stuff but this time I got to say most of the things I wanted while keeping it within the youtube time limit.

Instructions on how to run it(don't ask me):

Hmm... that's odd... on my version of this game there are no voice overs during the cutscenes....

[pcgheroes]

@GeneralNerevarine There's only voices in the cd version. The free version of the game doesn't have it since it's the floppy disk version.

@pcgheroes is the size of the map what u showed? just that little part or is there more?

[pcgheroes]

@jfl125 You mean at 5:48? That's just one part. Arena is the only Elder Scrolls game that let's you explore all of Tamriel. So you can go to Skyrim, Morrowind, etc.

[pcgheroes]

@teentrt It's from my Willow review.

[bosswyattavius]

[GeneralNerevarine]

@GyDvTm001 Then you are a very lucky person, because I do not, and I really wish that I could!

[GyDvTm001]

@GeneralNerevarine Wait, I have the free one and I can hear the voice overs

[Minority119]

@Spocktavian yes, DosBox

and I think there's an installer somewhere that installs you the game with a completely configured dosbox, meaning that you only have to run the game from the shortcut instead of emulating the environment and running the game separately
