Cthulhu Saves the World and Breath of Death VII Reviewed: Great RPGs

My dual reviews of Cthulhu Saves the World and Breath of Death VII, two great retro RPGs available as a bundle. Cthulhu, which was developed second, is undoubtedly the better game, but Breath of Death is worth playing too.

Atmospheric Loading Screens Theme Packs Updated, Snow Theme Released


Mod World
Atmospheric Loading Screens was updated to version 4.00 last week by Vacuity, and now the five original theme packs have been updated as well. Theme packs for The Lost Spires (mod), Oblivion realms, Ayleid ruins, caves, and the Shivering Isles retexture relevant loading screens from ALS with new frames to "match" the locations. Some of the packs include multiple new frames; the Shivering Isles pack actually includes 11 different "subthemes" (such as Mania and Dementia, New Sheoth, Order, etc.) with their own frames.

Vacuity has redone the frames for the new widescreen style, and in some cases added new frames and remade others. Of course the updates also include new loading screens from the 4.00 update. Vacuity has also released a brand new theme pack for Snow. 

The six theme packs now cover a total of 499 out of the 2011 loading screens in ALS 4.00. All of the packs are optional; use as many as you want to. I'm especially happy with the Shivering Isles pack since it really helps maintain the uniqueness that is everywhere else in the expansion.
