Darklands Is Back ! Rebuilt for Modern Systems

Darklands is back ! MicroProse's 1992 classic of saints, alchemy, witches and robber knights now runs natively on today's Windows: no DOSBox, no emulator, and it plays exactly like the original. The Darklands Restoration Project 0.9.0 is out now, and free to download. Every rule of the original has been rewritten from the original program and checked against it: combat, prices, saints and alchemy, the cards of every city and encounter, the generators of castles, mines and battlefields. The screens, the music and the sound are the original's, drawn and played from your own copy of the game. For this first release the original's bugs are kept as they are; from here we'll work through them one by one, fixing the game and restoring the branches that were left hidden. You need your own copy of Darklands. Nothing from the game is included. And this is only the beginning: with the original rebuilt in open, readable code, quality-of-life improvements, a better interface, enhanced graphics and even new quests all become possible.
