It would be great to try out on the 5150 once I get some spare 5' low density disks. It'll keep giving you a 'cannot divide by zero' error, if you keep trying to load the game a few times it'll eventually go. Uses PC mono speaker (yeah, castlevania music on a mono PC speaker & sound effects, it starts to get real crazy and insanely fast beeping).Īlthough playing it in windows 98 is a bit of a job. I had the opportunity to try out 'castlevania' for DOS, which is CGA. With there being reference to 'COLOUR' on the menu, I suspect it came from Canada or somewhere in GB. The box had a 'PSS' logo but no mention of country of origin or who the author was.

I'll have to check it out on my 1000SX and see what its all about. The box also had the ready reference card, a brown construction paper map, and the 'Players Guide'. The good news is that it ran fine in the EGA mode on my new hex core with the 5850 video card.

I popped the floppy in my big box and ran 'sor_lor.exe' from my DOS drive command line. The date printed on the disk is MCMLXXXVIII, which unencrypted computes to 1988 (I think). It came with a 720 KB 3.5' floppy as well as two 360 KB 5.25' floppys. Its pristine - I don't ever remember even looking in the box. I was poking around on a closet shelf and wouldn't you know a boxed version of 'Sorcerer Lord' fell into my hands. Even tried playing/using Virtual Reality Studio ('create and play in your own virtual reality world' and Space Station Oblivion (slow but was a true 3d game maybe on a faster chip it'd be good). Maybe I'm wrong about the 8088 but I'm not sure, I stuck with that system for quite a while. trying to remember the name but I know I played that on our 8088. there was a pre-Jill of the Jungle game where you were a caveman side scroller jump and run game. Crystal Caves I think er.maybe not (just saw picture). Good games in general: SpaceWar, Castle Adventure, any SSI TSR game (whip out that D&D Compendium!). Simple arcade like games that I had fun playing: Centipede, Moon Bugs, Digger, Pengo. back then I could barely get through reading the question before a computer would buzz in and answer the question. Wheel of Fortune was good, Jeopardy was way too hard for me as a kid but may be acceptable now. Pretty sure we have a lot of these threads but sopwith, F-15 Strike Eagle, Striker, Fleet Sweep, were all fun games.
