DRAGON LORD: IBM VERSION NOTES
|
|
|
|
The IBM version of Dragon Lord is an overall success. The VGA graphics
|
|
definitely live up to the Amiga screen shots, and the Ad-Lib soundtrack is
|
|
impressive (though not overly so). The interface for the most part is smooth,
|
|
provided you use a mouse or joystick. (I highly recommend using one of them
|
|
rather than the keyboard)
|
|
|
|
The IBM Version of Dragon Lord supports Hercules Graphics, CGA, EGA, Tandy
|
|
16-Color, VGA, Ad-Lib, Joystick, and Mouse. 512K is required to run the game
|
|
which comes on either four 5 1/4 disks or two 3 1/2 disks.
|
|
|
|
The Game comes with the original Dragon Lord manual with game instruction
|
|
and Amiga information. An small sheet is included with the technical
|
|
information on the IBM version. Besides the manual and tech reference card, a
|
|
fold out chart of spell effects, and a spell book is included.
|
|
|
|
The copy protection is in the simple form of a question, which you need the
|
|
spell book to answer. (Enter page X, Line Y, Word Z of the Spell book) However
|
|
the one annoying aspect of it is the fact that if you fail 4 times, it freezes
|
|
your system; forcing you to re-boot. The spell effect tables are also needed at
|
|
all times if you are going to successfully play the game, a major part of it
|
|
being the creation of new spells.
|
|
|
|
The optional arcade sequences for the most part are smooth enough, but
|
|
joystick control could be a little more sensitive. The IBM version for the most
|
|
part is very good, and lives up to the reputation the Amiga and Atari ST
|
|
versions have earned.
|
|
|
|
DRAGON LORD was created by Palace Software and is distributed by Cinemaware.
