Hello,
   Sometime ago I attempted to make a RPG type game but never found 
the time to complete it.  It was an immense project to undertake, 
since most of the coding would have been in assembler.  I am not sure 
when I will continue the project but I am providing a demo, so I can 
get some feedback.  If I get a sufficient amount of positive feedback, 
I might start coding again.  Right now, you can only move around in 
two types of screens.  One for world plan view and the other for 
dungeon view.  The world view is nothing more than moving an image of 
a warrior around on a two dimensional XY grid.  Those who have played
the NortQuest adventures will know what I am talking about.  The 
dungeon is a 3-D environment much like the classic Wizardry game.  
The dungeon view has one bug... you can see through some walls! :(  
Anyway, thats all you can do at the moment.  I was in the process of 
making the combat engine but that was where the project came to a halt.   
In this demo, the only usable programs are DUNGEON and WORLD.  Oh, almost 
forgot to mention, the name of my game is ShadowLands.
A bug or two may exist, so remember to back-up your calc.

Arnold
