Description:
Many years ago, on a moonless night, a small child was stolen away
from its unsuspecting parents. Its mysterious abductors carried it far
across theland to the mighty temple Necropolis. There the child was
accepted by the mages of darkness, warrior prists of the Beast Lord.
Deep below the temple the child was escorted, passing through a
labyrinth of rooms and passages to the Chambers Of Creation. There the
evil mages worked their dark arts creating strange creatures, plants
and traps to guard the Beast's stronghold. For the child they had a
special purpose, but first came years of preparation. Secret potions
concocted from the blood of rare creatures slowly transformed his
appearance - turning him from human into a strange creature of
incredible power, agility and strength. Deep hynosis caused him to
erase memories of his past life completely and become the warrior
messenger of the Beast.
Many years passed in his service to the
temple as he grew to maturity. Then one
day he discovered an awful secret - the
horrible truth about his past...a truth
that now leads him on a trail of total
and bloody revenge against his masters.
You were that child. Now the time has
come to enter the SHADOW OF THE BEAST!

Description:
Zelek was dead... Aarbron collapsed to the ground and slept. As he
dreamed, an apparition appeared before him in the form of a wizened man.
The man smiled. "You have done well, Aarbron. Zelek was indeed a
powerfull enemy, to defeat him took great courage and strength. The world
is now a safer place, thanks to your valour. But your battle is not yet
over. Maletoth, although abated is still a power to be reckoned with. To
be free of his curse forever he must be destroyed. I am Rekann. Once
magician to the King, I maintained the balance between light and dark, good
and evil. Sadly, I was lapse. I should have seen Maletoth's power growing
and sensed his presence, but he was clever... very clever. I had no hope,
his attack was swift. Before I could retaliate he had imprisoned me in
this Cage Of Constraint. But now, your defeat of Zelek has weakened
Maletoth sufficiently to allow me to contact you. His dark hold on the
world is loosening. We must strike while we can. To banish Maletoth
forever you must seek out these four items: The Skull Of Louq-Garou, The
Quintessence Of Being, Pendek's Mace and the Crystals Of Hodag. Only when
you have these four entities will you be strong enough to face Maletoth.
Awake now, Aarbron. Awake to face your greatest challenge yet... but fear
not for i shall be with you to guide you along the way. Awake Aarbron...
your transport awaits." Aarbron stirred. He lay quietly on the ground,
contemplating his dream. He felt different, he felt good. Looking down he
saw that his body had changed, he had regained his human form. Maletoth's
curse had left him, he was free!
From the distance, Aarbron heard the throbbing hum of aircraft engines. He
watched, fascinated, as an old plane flew into view and landed close by.
Aarbron waited... Nothing happened. He approached the now silent aircraft
and, as he neared it, the door opened. Aarbron jumped back, but again
nothing happened. He looked inside... no-one was aboard. He climbed in
and the door slamed shut. The engine fired up and the plane took off.
Aarbron made himself comfortable. The plane was heading north,... towards
Maletoth.
You control Aabron as he searches the far reaches of Kara-Moon to find the
four items he needs to defeat Maletoth. But the search won't be easy;
Maletoth's minions infest the four regions and they will do anything and
everything to prevent Aarbron reaching their master. And this time it's
not simply a case of fighting a way to Maletoth, for the path is strewn
with complex, inticate puzzles, switches, jet platforms, strange machinery
and deadly traps. You begin the game armed with Shurikans but along the
way you may collect Grenades, Keys, Hammers and Gold to help you in your
deadly task.

Shadow president
Hardware: PC
Visualizza
Titolo originale:Shadow President
Year: 1993 D.C. True
Genre: Strategy - Geopolitcal
Version: Commercial, DOS/Windws 3.x
Description:
Shadow President is a geopolitical simulation computer game released in 1993 for
the PC by the now-defunct software company DC True containing elements of
cyberpunk and dark science-fiction.
The game put the player in the role of the President of the United States in a
situation loosely based on the Cold War and the early 1990s. Using a timeline
that starts during the end of the Ethiopia-Somalia war, players can prepare
Kuwait to be invaded by Iraq during Operation Desert Shield. Being popular
enough to be re-elected is a vital component of the game (re-elections can be
disabled, greatly reducing the effect of popularity). Managing the budget of the
United States, sending aid to foreign countries, dealing with diplomatic crises,
and even fighting wars are a largely unavoidable aspect of the game.

Description:
The streets of America are full of muggers and other criminals, and as the Shadow Warrior,
your mission is to clear the streets and make them safe again. The Shadow Warrior's method
of combat is a series of ninja-style kicks, and in fact, this is the only move that you can
use on the enemies. It's a fairly standard scrolling beat-'em-up - the graphics are
nice, but there's hardly any sound and there's nothing that makes it better than other games
like it.

Shadowcaster
Hardware: PC
Visualizza
Titolo originale:Shadow Caster
Year: 1993 Origin
Genre: Adventure - RPG 3D
Description:
ShadowCaster tells the tale of Kirt, who is informed by his
grandfather that he is not actually human, but was descended from a
race of shapeshifters. Their people are few now, the result of a war
between the good and evil shapeshifters. After much struggle, the
followers of good, who were on the verge of victory, drove Veste and
his evil followers into a temple. There, Veste mocked them and vowed he
would someday see to the destruction of the good people. He then sealed
the temple so that no one could enter.
ShadowCasteris an action-adventure game, balancing combat
with puzzles. While the automap allows you to get around relatively
easily, there are obstacles that you can only overcome while in a
particular shape. Each level must also be thoroughly explored in order
to progress, as there are special items which you will need to solve
puzzles.
Combat is fairly simple, especially initially. Clicking on your
hands/claws will allow you to attack by clicking in the viewable area,
and spells or items can be used for ranged attacks in a similar fashion.
Graphically, the game shows off a range of colorful environments,
the only concern being repetitive textures that may cause you to keep
checking your map to make sure of your position. The sound is quite
good, with music specific to particular levels and a good range of
sound effects for the different shapes and enemies.

Year: 1988 Mindscape
Genre: Adventure - Point & Click
Input: key, mouse, joy
Media: 3,5" floppy disk, 5,25" floppy disk
Graphics: CGA
Sound: PC Speaker
Description:
Welcome to the world of Shadowgate, where as a hero of royal birth
you must adventure through the halls and rooms of the dark castle known
as Shadowgate. Armed with a handful of weapons, a little bit of magic,
and your sharp mind you must find the staff of ages and defeat the
Warlock Lord and his mythical minions and stop him from finishing the
spell that will mean doom to all you know. If that wasn’t a daunting
enough task for you, the Staff of Ages has been separated into three
pieces and scattered throughout Shadowgate Castle.
Shadowgate is a First person view adventure game that uses several
windows that includes the view window, the command box, the inventory
window, the exits window, and the text window. Through use of the view
window you can interact with what you see and take items and put them
in your inventory. While you can take and interact with most of the
items you see, be warned that not everything is useful or even safe.
The graphics are highly interactive and functional, but not
impressive even for its age. The graphics do help you though in
figuring out where to go and what to do, even if they don’t overwhelm
you.
The sound consists of growls, spewing fire, opening doors, and
punches-among others. They may add a bit to the game.
