King of Dragon Pass

Wonderful Retro Fun

This brings me all the way back to the ZX81 and the first game I ever played called Warlord (which was essentially a seasonal, turn based decision maker of the most simple, text based variety as befitting 1982) - nostalgic to the max then! You guide your clan through trials and tribulations, selecting clan leaders, managing farming, combat, building, trading, religion and exploration. This plays out over years of turn based, purely text (and art, more on that below), decision making, with only the help of your advisors, as you navigate numerous short stories and scenarios. Grow strong, keep your clan happy and make friends then form a tribe of clans together. The longer game has you then taking on the huge task of uniting all of Dragon Pass. The game creates a wonderful, unique atmosphere akin to Norse and Greek mythology. Honouring your ancestors is vital , while appeasing and drawing on the all powerful gods along the way. The settings and stories are varied, entertaining and well written and it's very satisfying when you get things right. The art work needs a mention all of its own - it fits superbly and enhances the atmosphere no end (hit space to see it in its full glory on any page). If you've ever enjoyed mythology, you're a turn based fan with an eye for detail, you like reading and have a secret thing for cows then this is a little gem of a game that will give you many hours of enjoyment.
