[Found: Cursed Kingdoms] Isometric Fantasy PD RPG Demo (A4000)

Argh · 15 June 2017, 11:12

Hey guys,

I’m looking for a public domain fantasy RPG I played back then on my A4000, probably from some game magazine CD. What makes it stand out in my head is that it used isometric world graphics with height levels or even vectorized landscapes (a bit like Marble Madness). I think it was just a demo/unfinished and I’m not sure if it ever got finished. The only thing else I can remember is it that it had a horrible, big, gaping skeleton-like face on it’s title screen that scared me somewhat back then

Thanks for helping!

Must be Cursed Kingdoms Book Zero: A Tale From The Past
https://amiga.abime.net/games/view/c...-from-the-past because:

Licence is PD/Freeware
Category is RPG
Subcategory is RPG - Wanderer
Dimension is 2D
A4000 was released 1992 and this game in 1996.
"height levels or even vectorized landscapes (a bit like Marble Madness)" match well to this https://amiga.abime.net/screen_previ...9.png?v=119452
has skull in title screen
has skull in game over screen https://amiga.abime.net/screen_previ...6.png?v=119459

Shame to say never heard of it before even though it is from Finland and I too had A4000 by that time. This looks a little like a game that utilizes CPU power, so I am eager to test at some day how fast those Marble Madness-like screens are drawn.

By the way, found the latest v0.90 on the magazine coverdisk AMIGAplus Sonderheft 14 (1998)(ICP)(DE).

It’s uploaded

haven’t used The Zone before so let me know if there’s any thing more to do.

This seems to be a demo version, but as far as I understand this just means it’s unfinished as it’s declared as freeware, anyway.
