Anyone ever play this?
It seemed to spiritually have a lot in common with DM with the concern about light levels and the real time tactics and stuff, but it was 3rd person and let you break up your party-- fun stuff?
There was a sci-fi sequel called Shadoworlds if I recall correctly, too.

Didn't you ask this a while back? Or was that a different game? We had a game called Shadowlands on the Atari and it was third-person, isometric view...you had a party of four whose faces you could design at the start...I can remember to cast spells you had a scroll with the spell on it, but when you cast it, the spell vanished from the scroll (don't think there was any way of recharging it). I remember one bit where your party is captured or something, and you start this section with all four people in separate cells, being nibbled by rats and you have to pull some levers or something in order to escape.

I think I know the ones you mean - the one I'm thinking of is Shadowworlds, where you had lights that ran out of batteries, you could only see what you could throw light onto, and you could make weapons up by parts
Had it for the amiga (again, if it's the one I think it is) and yeah,. it was pretty fun!

Yep, tried both of those but never got very far with either.
My gaming days are pretty much behind me now. It's taken over a month to play half of the new Tomb Raider amd the last few games I bought last year have never even been installed. I seem to finally be losing interest... is that a good or bad thing I wonder?

Good. If you have found something
more meaningful to fill your life.
Bad. If you have switched to drugs.
