Does anyone understand what on Earth this oclassic game is all about? I've just downloaded a 'Retro' version of it, and it makesabsolutely no sense whatsoever to me?
It needs many many hours, though (even if probably you can find maps online nowadays)

Where are you getting these games from? I'm having flashbacks to a Spectrum childhood spent in a land filled with Commodore 64s!

But I can't download the emulators because the links don't work. Half the retro games don't seem to work either.
All I've managed to get up and running is JS Willy and Chuckie Egg.
PS Hint for chuckie egg: Don't assign 'P' as a direction key because it is preassigned as 'pause'. Took me half my hair to fathom that one.
I googled Doomdark's revenge and found a WEALTH of websites. The very first one (icemark.com) seemed to have an awful lot of info including a version of the manual.
I remember the basic plot now - having to rescue a prince who's fallen under an evil spell. And of course he starts at the opposite end of the map from the characters you control.

This is suposed to be a good one too. But I never seem to have the time or patience to figure out these emulators and get them up and running.

EDIT: Oh my God! That site has STARQUAKE! *Squeals and faints*

Yes I have. It's in the archive in WORLD OF SPECTRUM. 😛
EDIT: if yu can figure aout how to get the bloody thing to work though, please let me know. I keep on downloading these emulators, and even when the emulator install and runs, I download the game and try to open it with the emulator and........... Jack diddly.
