Drakensang - The Dark Eye - Dev Diary #2

Avantenor dropped us a line to point out the second Drakensang dev diary at Drakensang.info . Penned by Radon Labs' Bernd Beyreuther, this entry talks about their first contact with The Dark Eye:

Hi there! Today I’d like to tell you how we came in contact with The Dark Eye in the first place, and what fascinates us so much about Aventuria. Back in the days, when Germany was still split into two halves, we didn’t know The Dark Eye. To be honest, we hadn’t ever heard of role playing games before, but at that time we were already enthusiastic board-game players.

What was the first thing my good old mate Floh and I did right after the reunification? We spent all our savings on computers, software and equipment. In addition to the AMIGA, a memory card, several Competition Pro joysticks and the arcade shooter “Xenon 2 Megablast”, we also bought a bunch of old issues of games magazines.
