The Well of Enchantments

I finished a quick check out of the 7DRL game entries posted to reg.games.roguelike.announce. Now I am going back to see who posted only to rec.games.roguelike.developnment. There are a lot of games there. This time around I am reviewing The Well of Enchantments.

I like the graphics in this game. Looks like there are a lot of fairly detailed tiles. Killed off one monster. Saw some type of mold multiplying, so I killed off all the mold. Grabbed some new type of weapon.

The wield command did not work. A message on the screen told me so. Then I pressed space, and the Windows app aborted. Doh! I reloaded the game, but could not find the weapon I picked up. Or perhaps I still could not figure out how to wield the weapon using the inventory command. I give up. Too soon? Perhaps.

Windows 7

Previously I tried running Angband v3.0 on my laptop. The graphics would not scale correctly for my screen. Plus the thing kept aborting. So I decided to go on an Angband hiatus.

Recently I decided to give it another try. Version 3.2 has graphics that better suit my screen. The application still exits mysteriously from time to time. However I am able to restart my game where I left off.

Right now I am a human mage character level 4. I knocked off Farmer Maggot to get a shield. It has not been identified yet. But I am wielding it because I am pretty sure it is enchanted.
