Darklands: Heroic Role-Playing Adventures In Medieval Germany

Touted as the first 'realistic' computer roleplaying game when it first hit the market in 1992, Darklands received critical acclaim but was also blasted for being released too early. The game was full of bugs, and went through several patches before it could be considered completely playable. It remains one of the true classics of early 1990's roleplaying games. If you enjoy 'classic' roleplaying games such as Wizardry or the Ultima series, you would do well to give Darklands a try; you'll need a DOS emulation program such as DOSBOX to play on modern computers, and be sure to download and apply the final game update before you try to play.

Features

• An epic role playing game based set in medieval Germany, as the people of the time saw it. The land seethes with mythical beasts, religious power mongers, and bloodthirsty robber knights.
• Travel the length and breadth of medieval Germany, from the Frisian coast to Bohemia, from the Alps to Prussia. Visit over 90 towns and cities along the way!
• Your quest for game and fortune can take you through raucous city streets and dank mine shafts, or from a robber knight's tower to the terrifying Sabbaths of witches.
• Classic role playing at its best: Darklands uses a deep, skill-based character generation system: Improve each character's attributes and skills as the game progresses. No artificial character classes or levels.
