Thanks your review of Nox Archaist! I think you did a good job describing several points of view on retro tech gaming.
You may be interested to know that I hope to see a "Nox Archaist Remaster" released some day, in the spirit of the Bard's Tale remaster from several years ago where upgraded graphics, sound and UI were laid over the original core games. My programming skill set is fairly narrow, centered around Apple II assembly language, and I have yet to find a modern tech programmer to lead the remaster project and so do not know if it will ever happen, but wanted you to know it's on my roadmap in terms of intentions.
