Drygulch?

Source: Lucas Games

Creators who name a game Drygulch also tend to invent characters like Guybrush Threepwood. The capable and unlucky sword fighter appeared much later and the stroke of genius named Drygulch is more a story of the 70's. (LSD sends its regards.) But why is all that naming jazz still relevant in 2021?

The answer: It is not. But there is something to learn in CRPG Addict's story about RPGs we can't play today anymore.

And what lesson do we learn? Keep your already antique computer and game console hardware, otherwise you might not be able to play Fortnite, when you turn 93.

Give it a read, meanwhile I quickly visit my PDP-8 in the basement to pet her a little. And play Drygulch.
