"The War of the Solstice has begun. Night has fallen and the foul are abroad."
My humble tribute to one of the first RPG wargame for ZX Spectrum - "Lords of Midnight" and "The Doomdark's Revenge". In memory of its creator - Mike Singleton, who has passed away in 2012, and his successor, Chris Wild. I used to spent hours playing this game back in my childhood, so to me personally it seems to be a good reason to commemorate those series. I called this set 'The Ice Crown Tales'. Gosh, it was one of the first games with the billboard environment design even before the first first person game (Wolfenstein 3D) was released.
What I always was missing in this game were animations. Honestly, this simple 8-bit graphic stimulated my imagination a lot, therefore I could not stand for but to add some here and there:
This is how it looked before despite the fact that those are up-to-date G.O.G. version screenshots:
I do have fun re-imagining the old games I used to play. I find this a way to bring them to life again. For more information please visit The Official Website.
"Arise, Midnight! Arise the Free! Perl and doom lie at our gates. Waken your valor. Arm yourselves with courage! We ride to conquer Doomdark forever! Arise, Midnight, arise!.. "
