"The Lords of Midnight is not simply an adventure game nor simply a war game. It was really a new type that became known as an epic game, for as you play the Lords of Midnight you will be writing a new chapter in the history of the peoples of the Free. You will guide individual characters across the land of Midnight on vital quests but you will also command armies that must endeavour to hold back the foul hordes of Doomdark, the witch king. Yours will be no inevitable victory." - Mike Singleton 1984 "Lords of Midnight does story-based, large-scope, high-fantasy warfare better than most titles I can think of, iOS or otherwise." - Rating 4/5- PocketTactics.com "This is an outstanding remake and developer Chris Wild, should feel very proud of creating such a superb celebration of the man’s work." - Rating 8/10 - Metro "#1 - Top 5 iPhone and iPad games of the week" - AppMyWorld.com "If you're interested in classic games, especially fantasy and/or strategy games, Lords of Midnight is a must-have." - Rating 4/5 - TouchArcade.com "App of the Year!" - Rating 5/5, Mirror.co.uk "It's an unmissable remake. Few titles weather the storms of time as well as this solid-gold classic." - Rating 4/5 - PocketGamer.co.uk "A must own title; pure genius and extremely entertaining. Recommended." - Rating 98/100 - Arcade Life “Made of extremely bright colors and clean lines, a stylistic choice that was and still is very original.” – Multiplayer.it "Despite the perfectly adapted touch controls and crisp graphic presentation, this is a proper 1980s they-don’t-make-’em-like-they-used-to game" - PocketTactics.com "#3 - Top 10 iPad games and apps of December 2012" - QualityIndex.com "If you love a game, love the game’s creator and want to produce an updated tribute – here’s your benchmark. Almost thirty years old and yet it feels fresh, relevant and completely at home on a touch screen. Recommended without reservation – so good it makes me want to cry." - Arcade Life "Original, longed for and a perfect adaptation of a legendary game. Unlike those Spectrum conversions that are strictly for nostalgia lovers, Chris Wild’s Lords of Midnight will enthrall any gamer who thinks he has what it takes for a true battle of wits where only the most brilliant commanders will survive." - Louise Mensch, Mirror.co.uk "Lords of Midnight is an experience that everybody with a remote interest in games should have, buying into your characters and developing your own war stories is a wonderful thing. It is a game with hidden depths that deserve to be plumbed and I cannot recommend it enough." - KoruCottage.com iOS Best Port/Retro Gamer of the Year" - Arcade Life Please check out www.thelordsofmidnight.com/blog for news on updates and new features to come... ** PLEASE NOTE ** You need iBooks installed to read the Novella.

Greyskull Well-Known Member Dec 13, 2009 5,588 1 38 Photographer/Social Sciences adjunct/sweet sweet l Fort Lauderdale #3 Greyskull, Feb 17, 2013 Hard to explain. A first person tile-based adventure/war game, I guess. I know they're quite different, but I consider this game a spiritual predecessor of King of Dragon Pass. I've been following the remake since it began, which was before ios existed. It was/is called the Moonlight project. I first played the game after discovering that webpage (I don't think this game was ever released on the Commodore 64, which along with the Apple were the dominant non-IBM pc's in the United States in the 80's).

That post got eaten by the internets apparently. Oscar, don't take such offense. I wasn't singling YOU out; I was singling out a comment that contained an emoticon (or emoji as the not-so-cool kids say) and nothing else. If you have no clue what the game is about, which I inferred from your response...don't worry about the sale. Were you looking for a response to your...comment, if you can call it that, or was it supposed to be ignored? Issac Well-Known Member May 20, 2011 229 0 0 #14 Issac, Feb 18, 2013 So... this game looks amazing! Though... can the player switch to a 'retro' view and use the original visuals? Or is it all the new, smoothed over look? Either way, thank you for the heads up! (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
