Review by The Dean of Games on 03 Dec 2018 (Rating: 3)

1985 Mikro Gen (UK)
by Dale and Shelley McLoughlin

Considered the first (and only) game to feature the Mikro-Plus interface, with an additional 16K, this was excepted to rival Lords of Midnight, although released a year and half later. It's not near as good. Not graphically and not in any other regard. The real feel Lords of Midnight and Doomdark's Revenge had is absent here, you know you are playing a digital game and its hard to get fully absorbed by the pixilezed atmosphere, unlike those other mentioned games. The story is possible the best bit of it and still isn't groundbreaking. Nonetheless remains enjoyable specially for fans of the genre, but with the plug-in it was too expensive. I myself prefer Lords of the Midnight Saga or Runestone.
