we should really move these kind of topics into requests and approve/deny it right after it gets identified.
jeez we even have separate forum with unidentified games in it

Indeed, I usually wait some weeks, FoN has more visibility and we can help them better.
This is solved and moved

Edit: it seems there isn't a Dos version around.

Yes .. but i used to play this game under the title Dragon's Breath
Let me search on my storages too ..

[Palocles]

This is/was a fantastic old amiga game featuring three different lords (even the 'good guy' fed his dragons children though) who raised dragons from eggs, cast alchemist magic on the dragons and towns around them and used the grown dragons to control the surrounding countryside while searching for 3 parts of a magic thing.

It seems to be available as a DL for amiga emulators at the moment and i found a PC DL somewhere once but it had a corrupt file which meant the first trader (and maybe all the rest) didn't work properly. So i'd love to see a fully functional PC version here on Abandonia! I'll even review it for free! Hehhe.

The game is split into a few different types of activity which you can do most of each turn. There are screens where you can view your currently hatched dragons and incubating eggs. From there and any town viewing screen you can move to the alchemy set and mix spells to use on them.

Spells are one of the most important parts of the game and you buy new componenets from travelling merchants (which is why the corrupt file was terminal). There are dozens of things which can be cut, chopped, mixed, heated and distilled before being combined into spells but there is also the risk of making too powerful a spell and having it explode before you can cast it!

Spells can make dragons stronger, faster or smarter, towns grow faster or lose population and even gold appear in your coffers (IIRC).

I could go on and on...

Anyone able to make me a very happy man(child)?

[Cluseck]

Approved here.

[Palocles]

Ok, approved already. Good.

I did some googling after i posted and i have found a copy of the game (.zip), manual and spell book (pdfs).

Does anyone want these?

That 'corrupt file' i mentioned seems to be copy protection and doesn't match the manual so the game needs a crack. Can anyone do that? I know i can't.

Let me know, please.

[Palocles]

Bump.

Have we got this game here yet?

I've still got the files, i think, and the version i have works expect for the trader screen when playing as the green beast. Not sure if it's just that one trader for all players or all traders for the green beast...

Ok then.

The game needs a joystick for the dragonn flying part. Once i have one i'll play a bit, write a review (+screens) and put it in Offers section.

Would be great to have a few other Abandonians helping with spell recipes!
