Galdregon's Domain  Pandora1988
[22]***
[52]***You take the role of a barbarian hero, who is unequalled in combat amongst the men of the northlands, however this quest will be, by far, your toughest trial.

To play Galdregon's Domain successfully you must not attempt to kill all the creatures, human or otherwise that you meet, although your strength in combat is generally much greater than your opponents you cannot possibly take them all on and win. You must employ stealth and cunning to outwit your opponents. It may be necessary to run from a tribe of Hobgoblins so you can sneak around them to steal a gem.

The basic aim of Galdregon's Domain is to recover the five gems of Zator and return the to King Rohan. Each gem is known to be held by one of five powerful creatures. You can be sure that the gem holders will be no push over, so before you attempt to take them on, try to gain some knowledge of their strengths ans weaknesses. The best source of information will be the local inns dotted about the countryside.

There are many objects in the lands of Mezron that may aid, or hinder you in your quest, weapons such as the Great Two Handed Sword of the Stone Giants or the Daggers of Quarx. Magical items such as wands and cloaks will give you great power over your enemies and when the going gets tough casting a fireball from a scroll will give a decided edge. Potion bottles can also be found, some of which increase your strength others may contain poison. Other objects include plate metal armour and food.

Heroes of the Lance  SSI;U.S. Gold1988[b]DRAGONLANCE®
The legendary DRAGONLANCE® game world comes alive in this exciting action game![/b]

HEROES OF THE LANCE is the first computer game that re-creates the epic battle between good and evil on the world of Krynn. (It is based on the first DRAGONLANCE® module, Dragons of Despair).

You control eight Companions, one at a time, in real-time action and full animation. Guide these brave adventurers, each with different specialized skills, deep into the ruins of the temple Xak Tsaroth to retrieve the precious Disks of Mishakal.

As you descend into the Abyss, the Companions must defeat hordes of monstrous Draconians in hand-to-hand combat, deal with powerful magic and survive the vicious attacks from Gully Dwarves, giant spiders, the undead and countless other terrors.

But your final obstacle makes these monstrosities innocuous by comparison: The platinum disks you seek are guarded by Khisanth, an ancient black dragon. And there is but one way to vanquish this mighty beast.

Find the key to destroy Khisanth and the Companions will take their first steps to earn the noble title, Heroes of the Lance.***

[37]***Long awaited follow-up to Dungeon Master. Can use its game files.

You don't need "Dungeon Master" to run this game (though the box says so!) but you will need every bit of experience from it because this "sequel" is damn difficult.

The Amiga and Atari ST versions have different intros by the way!

[37]***Quite an attractive port; it is very interesting how each port gets its own unique interface.

[b]Trivia[/b] from Mame.dk Golden Axe page
'The kanji [Japanese character] on the title screen actually reads 'Senpu', meaning 'Fighting Axe'. This is an example of 'gikun', where Japanese artists use the phonetic value of a character to determine the game's name, and not the meaning of the character itself.'
