Lands of Lore: The Throne of Chaos
Westwood Studios released Lands of Lore: The Throne of Chaos for IBM PC MS-DOS 5.0 in September of 1993. Lands of Lore was designed by William Alan Crum and Philip W. Gorrow; its lead programmer was Philip W. Gorrow of Eye of the Beholder fame; its lead artist was Rick Parks.
Lands of Lore is a flip-screen cRPG in the vein of Dungeon Master of 1987. And while it is switchable between interpolated ("scrolling") or flip-screen exploration, flip-screen is faster for movement and more accurate for positioning.
Lands of Lore displays in 256-color VGA 320x200. The active drawspace is only 176x120 px.
Lands of Lore requires a i80386 CPU, 572K of free conventional RAM (585,728 bytes) and 890K of XMS RAM (911,360 bytes). Lands of Lore performance is increased with additional XMS RAM.
Featuring digitized speech, Lands of Lore audio supports Sound Blaster, Sound Blaster Pro, Gold Sound Standard, AdLib, Roland MT-32 or LAPC-1, General MIDI or Sound Canvas and IBM PC or Tandy.
Lands of Lore was distributed on 8x 3.5" 1.44MB HD diskettes and extracts and installs to hard disk drive via Westwood Studios Program Installation. The install size is 17 megs (30 files).
