The Lords of Midnight: 8 bit

8-bit style classic adventure game

An 8-bit style remake of Mike Singleton's 1984 classic adventure game "The Lords of Midnight". The remake remains as faithful as possible to the original game, while adding touch screen controls for the Android platform.

Released under licence, for other versions of the game see the official homepage at http://www.thelordsofmidnight.com

You start the game with 4 characters: Luxor the Moonprince, his son Morkin, Rorthron the Wise, and Corleth the Fey. By recruiting other Lords in the land of Midnight you must defeat the evil Witchking Doomdark in his fortress in Ushgarak.

The Ice Crown is Doomdark's greatest weakness, as well as the source of his terrible power. Help Morkin find the Ice Crown and discover a way to destroy it, ending the battle once and for all.

The game ends when either:

* Morkin and Luxor are both killed

* Morkin is killed and the Citadel at Xajorkith falls

In order to claim victory:

* the people of the Free take Ushgarak or

* the Ice Crown is destroyed
