Another re-release from the new
budget Bug-Byte stable,
Souls Of
Darkon will already have been
seen by lots of you so I'll keep the
comments short. Darkon is the baddy in
the land of Megron, where you've just
landed with the faithful robotic friend
Komputa, who hovers around you
wherever you go. Destroying Darkon is
obviously the mission, and while the
adventure is not likely to be the hardest
you'll ever come across, it's beautifully
presented with plenty of simple but good
graphics screens and a very friendly
vocabulary. In fact typing in VOCAB
prints out a list of the verbs that the
program recognises, saving those
occasional frustrations, while there's
plenty around to EXAMINE.
With coins, swords, crystal fountains
and blacksmiths, there's nothing very
original in the early stages of the game,
but that doesn't matter as the whole thing
is well presented. I just hope no hardline
adventurers allow themselves to be put
off by a program which includes ZAP in
its word list!
