Times of Lore Longplay Atari ST RPG (Origin Systems)

Walkthrough of Times of Lore, a RPG in a huge world, developped by Origin Systems in 1988 on C64, PC Dos, Atari ST, Amiga and Nintendo Nes. 00:00 Main Title + Intro 07:15 The Foretelling Stones 09:23 The Dark Forest 19:53 The magic boots 27:37 The Tablet of Truth 37:55 The Magic Axe 41:19 The assassin's confession 47:59 The spy 50:26 The prince of Ganestor 55:02 Irial the Archmage 58:50 Side quest: the giant 01:00:29 Desert ruins dungeon 01:10:27 The blasted spot 01:19:57 The temple of Angor Directed by Chris Roberts Graphics & Cover by Denis Loubet Music by Martin Galway Music Conversion by Nigel Pritchard My very first RPG, which I received as a gift, was mainly because of the gigantic map that came with the game. With it, the promise of a vast world where you could go anywhere, encounter a thousand dangers—an open world before the concept of open world even existed! Originally developed by Chris Roberts, the creator of Wing Commander and Star Citizen, the title was first released on the C64 before being ported, in this case, to the Atari ST. This is undoubtedly the best version available, except perhaps for the speed. It's true, since the game is intentionally slow until you get your hands on the magic boots. So, I chose to double the emulation speed, which made it more enjoyable for me to play and will be more fun for you to watch. While it was also released on the NES, I think it's better to experience a Western RPG in its microcomputer version before tackling the console port. Although the latter is faster, more user-friendly, and features in-game music, it's not very faithful to the source material and feels more like a generic Japanese RPG, in my opinion. And that's coming from someone who loves both Western and Japanese RPGs. In the meantime, the game delivers on its promise of a grand adventure full of twists and turns, but the worthwhile locations are quite spread out, so you have to do a lot of walking. Also, this feeling of freedom is a double-edged sword. Yes, you can go anywhere and start however and wherever you want, but ultimately, you don't know where to begin the adventure. In any case, it took me 40 years to find the courage to finish the adventure; it was more than time! And I invite you, too, to get your revenge by watching this video, made with love. To mask the sound of silence, I've included not the NES version's soundtrack, but an Origin Systems/Martin Galway playlist, as well as chapter markers so you can pick out just the information you need without spoiling everything. Enjoy! PS: Once again, a huge thank you to Mr. Petari for his time and patience in converting the ST games to a hard drive format, without any issues with the TOS version, RAM usage, and above all, with greatly improved access since there's no more swapping floppy disks. It's a game changer! Thank you! Big thanks to M. Petari for the Atari ST HDD version : https://atari.8bitchip.info/fromhd3.php Perfect Walkthrough : https://strategywiki.org/wiki/Times_o...
