Not sure then. They may not be ordinary limit removing mods. kaiser_13_b.wad appears to work fine however.

Thanks, i forget there was another wad on the zip.

I tried that version and it worked.

 

Its not much, but now i can see how things work clearly.

Thanks for your help ;)

There was a wad I downloaded that had experience points and money where the player started in this space age base with a choice of maps to go to and you would get rewarded back at base once you completed your missions and new maps would open. I can't remember what it was called but it was very intricate and I thought it was hard. 

 

Of course there's always Daggerfall. I hear it's on steam.

Patched. :p

 

There were open world games in the 90s, and even in the 80s. Bethesda's The Terminator, Arena, and Daggerfall are some examples most people here are probably familiar with, at least in name. I could also mention 2D RPGs such as the old Ultima series or, in a different genre, the Elite/Frontier series.

 

Even some games from the 70s could be classed as open world, such as Colossal Cave Adventure and the original Zork.

 

My favourite early open world game is Lords of Midnight, which is possibly the first open world strategy game.

Phocas Island 2 attempted this, but... it's Phocas Island 2.
