Game Features Built in instructions Save and restore Permanent high scores Sound on/off Flexible keyboard configuration Three skill levels Bonus Info The EGA/VGA graphics are colorful and stunning, with fast scrolling screens and high-speed animation. Dark Ages has such demanding graphics and animation that it requires an 80286 (or 80386) machine to run at proper speed, otherwise it may run too slowly.
