LAD - Local Area Dungeon Description
"LAD is a strategy adventure game. There is no fancy music (in fact, no sounds at all until I can afford a sound card) and no fancy graphics (I'm not much of an artist), so this would not get much attention at a software store. However, I think you'll find this to be a very involving game; I doubt you will not encounter a new situation even after playing the same dungeon twenty times. If there is interest, I will make this into a commercial-quality game (as that is what I do for a living), but I wrote this for fun, and I much prefer working on the mechanics of the game, rather than its appearance.
Introduction:
LAD is a strategy adventure game. There is no fancy music (in fact, no
sounds at all until I can afford a sound card) and no fancy graphics
(I'm not much of an artist), so this would not get much attention at
a software store. However, I think you'll find this to be a very
involving game; I doubt you will not encounter a new situation even
after playing the same dungeon twenty times. If there is interest,
I will make this into a commercial-quality game (as that is what I do
for a living), but I wrote this for fun, and I much prefer working on
the mechanics of the game, rather than its appearance (I will get some
artist-friends to help me.)
Notes:
This is the second release of LAD, with the second dungeon. This version
of LAD will run the first dungeon, but you cannot run this second dungeon
on the first version of LAD. You also cannot use characters from the
first version. If you want to play the first (easier) dungeon and can
not find it where you found this, send an extra $3 to the above address
and you will be sent a disk.
This version fixes a few minor bugs (mainly when dealing with large
amounts of gold), adds a number of new game features, new spells, a few
cosmetic changes, and more help. One big change is that there is now an
extensive rating system when (or if) you complete the quest, and the top
ten scores are displayed in a logical order (sorry, the honor roll from
version 1.00 is ignored). There are also now menu selections that
allow you to equip and unequip quickly.
This version is also a little more annoying until you have registered.
If you have registered the previous version you should not need to
re-register. Remember that your registration will ensure continuing
development, including the fabled dungeon construction kit.
