DOS screenshots

thumbnail — Title screen A (Original German version)

thumbnail — Title screen B (Original German version)

thumbnail — Intro. The letters of the text are being carried away through the top, hence the weird font of the first line

thumbnail — Character creation screen

thumbnail — Each character archetype is represented by such colorful couples

thumbnail — A temple in Thorwal: this is where you start the actual game

thumbnail — Buying some weapons and armour

thumbnail — The game consists of three main modes: overland travel on a 2D map...

thumbnail — ...city and dungeon exploration in 3D...

thumbnail — ...and isometric combat

thumbnail — The original release provides this crude, color-coded automap.

thumbnail — Your quest is to visit persons all over Aventurien...

thumbnail — ...and collect pieces of an ancient map that point the way to the legendary Blade of Destiny.

thumbnail — A fight at night!..

thumbnail — Marketplace options

thumbnail — You shop for some herbs and comparable stuff

thumbnail — Camp screen in the town - it looks different from the more elaborate wilderness camp

thumbnail — Greetings, greetings, travelers! Please pardon my surprisingly Middle-Eastern countenance in this pseudo-Nordic, viking-inspired town!

thumbnail — You can walk through some green areas, but sooner or later the game will say you can't advance

thumbnail — A typical tavern. They all look the same

thumbnail — A typical harbor - again, same graphics no matter where you are. Take a ship to other towns

thumbnail — Ship journey. Ahh, beautiful weather...

thumbnail — Travelling by ship is quick, but not without its dangers: a giant octopod may attack...

thumbnail — ...and pirates may board the ship, forcing you to defend yourself.

thumbnail — Camping in the wilderness, your party can search for valuable herbs.

thumbnail — Unfortunately, Orcish hordes are on a rampage through the land, and will ambush you frequently.

thumbnail — This colorful dude is a doctor! He can heal you. And he grudgingly does, even though you woke him up in the middle of the night

thumbnail — You can break into people's houses! Most of the time you won't find anything interesting, though

thumbnail — Boss battle: This druid with his pack of white wolves has one of the map pieces you're looking for.

thumbnail — Entering a dungeon.

thumbnail — Picking a locked door in a cave.

thumbnail — A chest! But beware: it might be trapped.

thumbnail — Dungeon automap. Since levels are always square, you can easily figure out where secret rooms are.

thumbnail — Dungeon combat. As our fighter strikes, a mummy crumbles to ashes.

thumbnail — In a fierce fight against necromancers and their undead vassals, one of our party members has been knocked out.

thumbnail — Another day, another town - and yes, it looks exactly the same as Thorwal. Graphical variety is not this game's forte...

thumbnail — [English Version] Texts are reasonably well translated from German.

thumbnail — [English Version] The improved automap now indicates doors.

thumbnail — [English Version] Character sheet. This dwarf has just gained a level.

thumbnail — [English Version] Combat options

thumbnail — [English Version] Exploring the Ship of Death

thumbnail — [English Version] Combat on board of the Ship of Death.

thumbnail — [English Version] The natives are friendly...

thumbnail — [English Version] We just found a companion!

thumbnail — [English Version] Oops. Dead?
