What it is: A fan's demake of Ultima 1 crossed with Dragon Quest 1 using the amazing Pico-8. Here on the game page you can download it for Windows, Mac, Linux, or even the Pico-8 cart to take a look at the source.
The plot? You play as Loto* and your goal is to save the princess and kill the evil Dragonlord Mondain!
INSTRUCTIONS:
Arrow keys move and interact. You interact/talk/attack by bumping into things.
(O) (z key) opens the magic menu where you can cast Hoimi (Heal) and Gira (Firebal).
(X) (x key) cancels/closes.
**You can only save at Castle British by speaking to Hawkwind.
What you can do:
-Save and load
-Buy a boat and sail the four kingdoms
-Use magic
-Reach the max level of 8
-Buy weapons and armor
-Visit the four magic signposts (and get a secret weapon!)
-Delve the four dungeons and kill the four big beasties
-Collect the four magic orbs
-Get the jail key
-Rescue the princess
-Kill the Dragonlord Mondain
..and thats where it stops! Game over, you win.
DISCLAIMER: This borrows heavily from properties owned by Origin, Enix, EA, and Square-Enix. I made all of the content within the cart but the IPs do not belong to me in any form.
I also would not suggest using this cart as a programming example. I am terrible at coding and this cart is nothing but proof.
glhf!
(*not really, you play as their descendant, since that's who you are in DQ1, but eh)
ENJOY!!
