Short description
In Dark Ages, you’re the Prince of the Great Kingdom, who as a child watched the King – your father – die at the hands of Garth, a power mad warlord with uncanny magical abilities. Garth sent you away from the Great Kingdom to be raised as a peasant, and to never fulfill your destiny as the future King. But Garth made a terrible mistake.
About this game
Dark Ages was the first shareware game to support the Adlib & Sound Blaster music cards. If featured a movie style soundtrack of eight unique songs and themes. Each volume of Dark Ages has its own unique appearance, with different goals, level designs and locations. Each volume has 10 huge scrolling levels packed with devious traps, creatures and treasures. 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. (NOTE: Dark Ages runs too fast on 486 or higher computers. You will need to slow them down to play).
