Thalimar: Land of Chaos - An unreleased Amiga/PC dungeon crawler that's worth checking out

Year after year we usually go on about the latest games and unreleased titles seeing the light of day for the very first time, well here are with another unreleased game for you to "play test" , as thanks to our good friends GamesThatWeren't announcing it on Twitter, you too can try out a preview download of the unreleased game of 'Thalimar: Land of Chaos'. A game that was not only produced by Insomnia back in 1999 for the Amiga ( later PC ), but the game was very similar in style (and no doubt inspired by) the Ishar series of games except with a dark twist! To coincide with this news, Saberman has done a short play through of the game of which can be viewed below.

In Thalimar: Land of Chaos, you control a powerful mage – a servant of darkness who wants to take over and burn villages, kill innocent people, and carry out other unceremonious acts of evil - Nice!

In brief this is what the website says about the game "There were big plans for the game which was coming at a time where the Amiga was already struggling badly with new releases. There was to be a huge world to explore, lots of rendered movie clips and CD music. A demo was released on Amiga Computer Studio magazine (which you can check out below), which gives a promising glimpse of how the game was shaping up. Sadly the project had failed as the team was scattered, a roadmap for development wasn’t present and no deadline was set. Also, it was an extremely complex game to implement, and the team didn’t really have the budget to see it through to completion."

In regards to the PC Version "There were plans to resurrect the title in 2006 (likely for PC) and a project website was created too with early tests with a 3D engine. There was no interest from the former team, and so that died out too".
