Lords of Chaos Amiga 1991



Mythos Games released Lords of Chaos for the Amiga in August of 1991. Lords of Chaos was designed by Julian Gollop and ported from the Atari ST version of 1991 by Martin Beadle, Julian Gollop and Nick Gollop. The Atari ST version was based on the original Commodore 64 version of 1990 by Julian Gollop and Nick Gollop.

Lords of Chaos is the successor to Rebelstar and Laser Squad and predecessor to X-COM: UFO Defense.

Lords of Chaos displays in 16-color 320x200. Being an ST port (itself a port of the C64 version), Lords of Chaos exploits absolutely none of the Amiga's chipset capacities.

Lords of Chaos is a top-down turn-based tactics game that employs action points and supports up to four alternating players.

Players design and assume the role of a wizard that can concoct potions and cast various kinds of spells. The object of Lords of Chaos is to battle opposing wizards, collect treasure and reach a portal that appears after a preset interval.
