The Shadows Of Sergoth for the Commodore Amiga, coming 2019!

Double Sided Games is very proud to announce a third game, coming up 2019! The Shadows of Sergoth is a dungeon crawler in subjective view for the Commodore Amiga 500 with 1Mb of ram. It is based on the Amstrad CPC 6128 game by Christophe Petit & Kukulcan, which gratefully agreed that we port their game!

Saul Cross (graphics and sound) and Colin Vella (code) are already active on the project and the development is moving forward! This is a huge job but thanks to the very thourough documentation left by the original authors, porting the game will be easier.

Of course, the Amiga will give us a wider range of possibilities, and we will make sure to add new features the game.

Here are the main features of the game as of now:

  • Rules are freely based on Microlite20, which is an extreme simplification of the Advanced Dungeon & Dragons.
  • 3 difficulty levels
  • 24 spells to learn
  • Character can level up to 20
  • 5 races with different characteristics: human, elf, dwarf, half-Orc and human-lizard
  • Save system
  • Auto-map
  • 16 levels to explore

More news coming soon!
