If this sounds like typical reviewer style hardware snobbery, it isn't. If you have a double-speed drive or better, this shouldn't be a problem, but those of you still struggling with singlespeed drives might get a little frustrated. You can go for the full installation (using over 40Mb of hard disk space) or a partial installation that uses only 4Mb of disk space but loads the animation elements directly from CD-ROM.
The former uses no fewer than seven high-density disks and takes up a whopping great 35Mb of hard disk space, while the latter offers two options. And probably one or two screws on the part of the designer.ĭark Legions is available in two versions: one on floppy disk only and the other on CD-ROM. In fact, all that's really missing is the smell of blood and burning flesh. To help you get into the right mood of bloodthirstiness, you get some rather wonderful animations. The idea behind the game is quite simple - you pick your side on a points value basis from a list of 16 strange creatures and do battle in time-honoured fashion by incinerating, poisoning, clubbing, draining or mangling your opponent to death. You can play against the computer or another human, either in the same room or by modem. The plot might be thin but Dark Legions is a good, solid fantasy game that combines strategy and combat in equal proportions. You don't have to know all that, of course, and as with every other fantasy game I've ever come across, if you want to imagine yourself in the Land of Oz surrounded by some blonde and beautiful Munchkins, then it won't make too much difference.
The good news is that he's probably as mystified as you are as to why he has it and just as You hold one of the two orbs of power (yawn) and your mission, should you choose to install the program, is to summon an army of weird and wonderful creatures to defeat the geezer with the other orb. From what I can work out from the meandering five-page introduction, the game puts you in an immortal kingdom called Tahr Carog. Unfortunately, Dark Legions isn't going to change that. With the possible exception of Dune, most fantasy games have never been too strong on plot.
