- Requirements:
-
- A monitor capable of displaying VGA graphics
- (i.e. mode 28)
- 1 meg free memory when running the game.
-
- Right.....
-
- Hello there.
-
- I have to get one thing straight now.
- I was very unsure whether or not to release Arion,
- because it was the first program I wrote when I
- got my first Acorn computer (a Risc PC) nearly a
- year ago, and as such, it isn't very well done.
-
- However, I dug it up recently, and found it was
- quite fun, so I removed a few bugs and here it is.
-
- I'm not going to develop this version any more,
- because the programming is so terrible it's hard
- to decode. I did start work on V2 about 4 months
- ago, but I've got sidetracked with exams and another
- program.... but that's a secret....
-
- ok... I'll wet your appetite.
-
- The program is called 'Legends'. Do you remember
- classic games such as 'Dungeon Master' and 'Eye of
- the Beholder'? Those 3D first person perspective
- view games? Well thats what Legends is gonna be
- like. And better (yeah, sure).
-
- It will include:
-
- *5 or 6 different guilds, each having their own
- skills and abilities.
-
- *Non-Player Characters (NPC's) - not just monsters!
-
- *Up to six characters in a party - These don't have
- to be generated by you, they could be rallyed
- NPC's or charmed monsters/animals.
-
- *Lots of other things I can't think of now, and
- lots more things I haven't thought of yet!
-
- ***BUT!***
-
- Legends _ISN'T_ a game. I suppose it's more of an
- interpreter. You will be able to design games that
- include all of the above using my Wimp-based Legends
- game designer! Cool huh?
-
- What I plan is this:
-
- The Legends interpreter is going to be public domain
- The Legends game designer will be shareware/commercial
- Your games will be whatever you want them to be.
-
- If you want more info on Legends - (I'm looking for
- some help drawing some graphics - contact me if
- you're interested) or want to congratulate me on
- the masterpiece called Arion, then you can contact
