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.
