Released in February 1996.
The game is based on the famous RPG system 'Dungeons & Dragons'.
The game forbids the initials 'SEX' on the name selection screen. If you try, it gets changed to (depending of the character you choose) :
Fighter : 'CRASSUS'
Cleric : 'GRELDON'
Elf : 'LUCIA'
Magic user : 'SYOUS'
Victor Entertainment released a limited-edition soundtrack album for this game (Dungeons & Dragons - Shadow Over Mystara - VICL-2169) on 22/05/1996.
- UPDATES -
The US version is slightly different, it has the "Winners Don't Use Drugs" screen.
REVISION 1 :
* Software version : '960209' ('960206' for the Japanese release).
REVISION 2 :
* Software version : '960619'.
* Name Bug corrected (see 'Tips And Tricks' section for more info).
- TIPS AND TRICKS -
* Bug : very beneficial trick in some cases but leads to lockups. Choose a character with a 6-character name (Blue Dwarf and possibly 2 others). Press the name button and then erase it and start pressing buttons to put your own letters in. The timer to enter your name will reset as long as you are pressing buttons to enter letters. What happens is that you can continue to enter more letters than the code expects and you begin to over-write the area of memory that contains character information and inventory. Depending on what letters you enter and how many you enter you can continue the game at the beginning of the next stage and already be hasted, invulnerable, invisible, possessing powerful weapons, etc... The character info on screen is all garbled. Once you make it to the first shop you can drag apparently empty inventory items into the trash for large sums of silver. The game will lock up quite frequently though - especially when you pick up items that hold specific places in memory. Try using about 110 ''M''s for a name. This glitch was removed with the later revision.
