If you have an Amstrad or Amiga near by, chances are you would've come across the excellent homebrew Dungeon Crawler ' The Shadows of Sergoth '; a game which blew many of us away with fast coded graphics, deadly monsters and cool loot to find throughout. Although the big boxed edition is no longer for sale, the publisher Double Sided Games has disappeared into the nether, and my boxed edition which was due never arrived :(, you can at least play these new levels, which have been added in by quantumcodemonk.
Here's the latest from the website. "I have just finished my mod for the game "The Shadows of Sergoth"! This mod introduces a new quest that takes the gameplay experience to a whole new level. It has been a work filled with creativity and hard work, and the result offers both new and experienced players a unique and enriched experience in the dark and mysterious world of Sergoth. The difficulty level is high, and weapons and other resources are scarce, making every battle a challenge and every find a valuable asset. Download my mod now and embark on a new adventure."
Update : v1.0
- - Added 2 new maps (10 maps in total).
- - Made some small tweaks here and there on all maps.
Meh!?
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to Double-Sided games, then? I got some games from them some years ago and thus far never had a problem. Also digital releases but .... not the same thing for this problem. Was this a one-person thing? Did something happen to them?
ReplyDeleteThe DS site is still up and they wrote about a delay for the boxed version. Maybe that's the reason why.
ReplyDeleteLook at the date though, 09/12/2021. After that no new news on published games. Even their Twitter has been quiet for over a year :(
DeleteHope they managed to contact you :3. I sent them a message to check in.
DeleteNice, thanks for the heads up!
ReplyDeleteThey went dark after moving to France from Canada. Don't know if that has any bearing on it, though
ReplyDeleteCan you make these available as adfs too?
ReplyDeleteI was lucky enough to get a boxed version myself but the site has been dead for years now. They never even cared to update Realms of Quest V (which is hopelessly outdated - thankfully, Ghislain sends his updates through email directly to all owners). There was talk about a second run for RoQV and I desperately wanted one. I've given up hope for that.
ReplyDeleteI think life got in the way, can't really go into his private life on here.. But last message I got was "No worries I’ll ship it but later" and that was it
DeleteYeah, I asked him multiple times about that second run of RoQV and got roughly the same answer... oh well. Did you already pay for the box version of Sergoth?
DeleteWait, you still haven't heard from them? I contacted them on your behalf and got an email semi instantly and they said they'd get in touch with you. I even passed the URL of the article to them to help. Did this not help?
DeleteNope :( - But grateful for your help though matey!
DeleteK&A+ magazine would be happy to publish this game as physical box with goodies. If anyone can connect us with Ghislain, that would be fantastic!
ReplyDeleteDownload for full game where ?
ReplyDeleteI think you can still purchase it in the webshop.
