Review of the game.
First it is a game like MM2, bards tale . (not real time like DM).
story :
Save the land from some evil doers.
graphics :
some are ok, some are really amateurish. (MM2 graphics were cute).
and the window is way small. (After DM or MM2, a quarter screen is unacceptabl
e),
sound :
beep, (DM was somptuous).
animation :
havent seen much.
User interface :
C-64 like enhanced by the Mouse . I hated it . There was no "pseudo" intuition
to jump from menu to menu, you HAD to read all the texts to know at what level
you were .
Combat :
SSI style . (phantasye (sp?)) you see a row of "dots" representing you.
under a row of dots representing the monsters , well ... there goes the
realism.
Encounters:
It is really fun to meet a fighter who wants to join you and see a picture of
Rats ...
Baseline :
spend your hard earned money on some other program. MM2 , DM , Ultima .
even the PD version of Rogue .
Walter
ps : The program multitasks. So you might want to get the game just to
rip-off the few nice pictures there are in there (a grabbit should
do the trick).
