Why don't you steer it with the keyboard? The cursor keys on the number block on the right side are best suited for it, with 9 8 7 2 for straight directions and 4 6 for strafing, just like on the game's display. All you need to do then is to click with the mouse on each member's weapon or spell icon to attack and that's it

oh, boy.... that was complicated. I prefer trying to speed up my brain for faster mouse using hehehe but thanks anyway

It sounds more complicated than it is, try it. With short adaptation you'll be probably steering it like that all the time

I cannot believe this game is available. Incredible. Thank you so much to whoever uploaded this. It's one of, if not the best game I have ever played. Fantastic levels, difficult challenges, great graphics, replayability, etc.

One of the best games from my youth. I still get chills when I remember 3rd floor of the White Tower. Many memorable levels...

Personally, the only game I would consider superior to this would be Lands of Lore II: Guardians of Destiny. Which has unparalleled adventure, length, difficulty, and music. You are doing yourself a HUGE disservice if you don't play GoD. It's very different from Lands of Lore 1, but it's a 10/10 game.

LONG LIVE WESTWOOD

Is there any way to get a list of the weapons or the rings so that way you can find out what all of this stuff does, like the bezel ring, and other things that you find or a "shining" star what the difference would be from that and a normal star. Anyway if you could help in any way of how to really id items (maybe the guy in the swamp) or a place to go to found out online or something

There is a guide on GameFAQs. It might help you.

Awesome game!

Trying to get this game running on Windows XP, I know generally you need a DOS box set up to run these but seeing as I completely suck at any type of programming i've been going into properties and changing memory settings and the exit on opening box to play my DOS games getting from here.

Thing is with this... The game comes up and I get to the point where can select one of the four characters to play, but when I select one of them, and confirm to use that character, (I assume supposed to) it fades away into black, while i'm not thinking this is the mistake... the black screen doesn't go away, no sounds (which not surprised by, have never had sound on any DOS games i've played) but what really gets me is why nothing comes up after this... If anyone could help me out here would be appreciated.

Last post was my own, follow here on something else I noticed.

After re-reading the review of the game I also noticed I never saw the intro movie, but only the 'Virgin games/Westood' symbols, and then taken straight to the character selection screen, there after game goes black and does not respond.

try putting higher cycles (ctrl+f12), low cycles can make a game freeze.
if it didnt help try setting core=dynamic in your dosbox.cfg

Tried the ctrl=f12 and didn't make any diffrence that I noticed... idk enough (anything) about DOS to make the change you mentioned their. Also letting the opening movie play through now all the sounds are comming through as static... Closest thing could describe it as is stirufoam being shreaded over concrete... so yeah, little annoying their.

Is there anything else w/o using DOS I could do to get this to work? If not could someone show me a link to where would show step for step how to get a game to work in DOS?
