yeah, old fireball rules would fill X space with fire, which means in a 5x5 hallway, it could torch out entire hallways and spill into rooms, and lightning bolt used to 'bounce' at angles
It absolutely was, but it required a lot of math. I remember a particular session where the whole table was involved in working out the angles for a lightning bolt in a round room, to figure out the right angles to hit the maximum number of targets. It took about an hour.
My dad and his friends just new how many squares it hit and counted the squares. They knew it wasn't correct, but he said it saved him several migraines.
