RELEASE NOTES
It must be raining betas in heaven.
Divine decided to release a beta of this brilliant game mere days ago,
Paradigm is proud to give you the final. Read below for information as
to the differences between the Divine beta - and our final.
- DarkStone:
Enter the world of Darkstone and leave your identity at the door.
Surviving this medieval world, living under the shadow of a nefarious
dragon, will require nothing less than a complete transformation.
As a knight, monk, thief, or sorcerer, you will creep through dungeons,
explore towns and wilderness, and slay armies of nasty enemies on your
quest to collect seven crystals that can defeat your firebreathing
nemesis.
Look deep inside yourself. Is there a dragon slayer within?
The world of DarkStone is a vast one..
- Simultaneous control of 2 characters
- Quest Generator creates a unique quest at the beginning of every new
game (tens of thousands of combinations of quests are possible),
assuring that no two games are ever the same.
- Over 30 levels per Game
- Dozens of weapons and spells
- Male and Female characters
- 8 different classes
- Over 80 unique enemies
- Full camera control (orientation and zoom)
- Network and Internet play
- Designed to exploit 3D Accelerator cards (compatible with all D3D
boards)
- Created by Delphine Software, developers of the Moto Racer series and
Fade to Black
The differences between this version and the one DVN released 3 days ago
are very obvious:
DVN 1,290,240 07-09-99 3:40p Darkstone.exe
PDM 1,310,720 07-28-99 6:31p Darkstone.exe
DVN 88,148,960 07-09-99 4:58p data.mtf
PDM 87,179,264 07-18-99 8:32p data.mtf
Unlike other games, Darkstone was not released in other countries before,
so DVN can only have done a beta (DVN even installed their beta before it
went officially gold).
Ripped:
Speech and movies - expect no addon.
Installation:
Unzip and unace manually or with Install.exe. Then unace the crack.ace
to your gamedir. Start the game with Darkstone.exe. Make sure you have
the latest DXMedia installed (get it from Microsoft).
