THE ELVES OF MAROLAND (2024) ZX Spectrum Next

A new era begins in Maroland… The Ancient Talking Dragons have nearly all been annihilated… The Elves hide in their ancient mansions. The future belongs to humans… However, naive human wizards long for immortality. It’s only a matter of time before one of them finds something they can’t control. «Remember, Ged, the power of an entity lies in its true name. Those who know the true name of a being can dominate it, even if it is a fearsome Dragon.» Your master Ogion was powerful, but one night he summoned an evil creature, a Shadow that escaped his control, mortally wounding him. «The Shadow must be destroyed, Ged. Look for the Elven Wizards, only they have the wisdom to stop her.» Ogion died that night, and, with regret, you direct your steps towards Goil, the capital of the island, in search of the Elven Wizards… In this adventure you will take the role of Ged, the wizard’s apprentice. After the death of Ogion, his master, Ged must find the Elven Wizards of Maroland, and obtain the knowledge to be able to defeat the Shadow invoked by Ogion, and which killed him. If the Shadow is not defeated, darkness will soon reign over all the islands of Maroland… Originally this adventure was made in Spanish language with PAWS for the ZX Spectrum in 1993. This is the port / remake made with DAAD between 2022 and 2024.
