Hadn't played DG before-in fact, hadn't played many RPGs at all. My first team was way back when JA2 first came out;

IMP-"Slash". Pretty useless, had high marksmanship, but everything else was "well-rounded", 'cos I had no idea that things like strength could be improved quite easily or that high wisdom would be needed to improve other stats. A "jack of all trades and master of none" would be a fair description.

Buns-probably my best choice-at least she could hit something.

Hitman-OK, I suppose-seem to remember him never having enough APs to really make any impact.

Blood-someone I hire regularly now. He's a great early stage merc (plus comes in useful for the prize fights), but at the time he was wasted-didn't really know how to play the game. I'd never use stealth or crouch/crawl, I'd fight during daylight and didn't repair guns. Consequently all my mercs took a lot of hits-and Blood, due to him usually being point because of his stats, took more than most.

Fidel-same as Blood but without the plus points. Seem to remember him blowing himself up a few times.

Steroid-I might have got him too-made me laugh a bit, but he got shot a lot too.

In fact, Fidel and Steroid died fairly quickly.

I had no idea when I started the game-I managed to capture Drassen, but didn't locate Skyrider or the SAM site. I don't think I even bothered training militia in Drassen. Consequently, I ended up walking all the way to Chitzena, Steroid got killed along the way. I tried taking the town, but with my sophisticated tactics I found the bad guys far too tough and retreated to San Mona.

San Mona was great-no bad guys, and I found Tony's shop. Problem was I didn't know Tony was in it and had no idea how to get past Hans. In the end I blew a hole in the side wall, but Fidel killed himself in the process. From there it was on to Cambria where my first encounter was with T-Rex. He made short work of Blood and Hitman, leaving the redshirts only my IMP and Buns. They didn't last long....

Those were the days, eh? Still, it's some testimony to JA2 that I could get hooked on a game that I was so useless at. Very Happy
