| Lords of Midnight was an epic adventure game written for the ZX Spectrum
microcomputer (amongst others) in the early 1980's. It differed from other games due to the technique known as landscaping which allowed a the player to view the world, panoramically, from any location. Also, the player could control multiple characters, allowing for complex strategies with radically different, open-ended scenarios. Using his landscaping technique, Mike Singleton was able to develop a game which offered no less than 31,232 views, from about 3904 locations, which was no mean feat on a 48K spectrum. Despite being an 8-bit game, it is still extremely playable, highly addictive and exhibit surprisingly passable graphics. The package includes dexe's of both the original ports and a patched versions with support for numeric-pad based movement. Assembler source is also available through Chris Wild's site at http://www.anam.demon.co.uk if anyone is interested in doing a true port. To date they have only been tested under Linux Dosemu version 0.98.x. | ||||||||||||||||||
