Shadowlands (video Game)
''Shadowlands'' is a 1992 video game developed by Domark for DOS, Amiga, and Atari ST. Plot ''Shadowlands'' is a fantasy role-playing game in which the player controls four characters either as a party or as individuals. Gameplay The player controls a party of four adventurers, each of which may be controlled individually; this is sometimes required for puzzlesolving. Characters in ''Shadowlands'' are governed by four statistics: Combat, Magik, Strength, and Health. Characters are aligned to one of four roles: Magician, Warrior, Orc, and Priest. Characters must eat and drink, or they may die. An important aspect in ''Shadowlands'' is light: in dark areas torches are needed for characters to see, and they burn out over time. Small creatures, such as rats, follow the player and drain characters' health gradually each turn, and they cannot be killed. Scorpions act similarly, but do not follow the player and instead must be avoided. Development The Amiga version of ''Shadowlands'' ...
