Grail of the Gods (rogue-like or mini-RPG)

Thanks for posting this. I would have not been able to figure it out.

No problem. It was frustrating because everyone else was playing it so I figure I would have got someone to help me with this, but I guess people were too busy playing the game to help!

I released Grail of the Gods port I was working on for the past few week for the Colecovision. You can check it out in that thread.

Any tips to get this game working on JzintvWii like bin/cfg file can contain information where the addition RAM is located on the cartridge.

Hey Oscar

 

I just played this again for the first time since it came out, it's really fun.

 

A couple of questions for you, based on the Rogue game this was based on.

 

Do the dungeons generate randomly like Rogue?  

 

And I noticed new monsters every few levels, with rats and orcs at the beginning,

and medusas and centaurs and trolls in level 9 which was as far as I got last night.

 

Are there still more monster types as you go further? Is there a dragon at some point?

 

Thanks for yet another enjoyable game, keep 'em coming.

Hopefully he doesn't mind answering some questions.  This version of this game does generate dungeon randomly.  The one I converted didn't because I didn't know how the generator works and it used 16-bit comparsion(Colecovision is 8-bit), so I just created 30 maps and took some maps that this version generated.  It just pick from 30 maps.  The item, player, enemies, traps, stairs/grail are placed randomly specifically how many walls it required to be placed.  The original 10-line version(can't remember which system it was for.) is quite clever how procedural the code is.

 

The dragon's on the 12th floor on the harder difficulty. The game's relentlessly hard at that point.

Hi Steve.

 

it isn't based on Rogue. It's different from Rogue in the mechanics of dungeon generation and enemy filling. But still random like Rogue.

 

Yes, there are Dragons in the hard level in the deepest dungeons. But I'm afraid with same style of battle. No bosses per se.

 

You're welcome.

This is one of my favorite games, especially the Plus version (love those sprites!). Although it never saw a cart release, is there any chance of having boxes made, assuming there would be sufficient demand?

 

Thanks for the game @nanochess

I don't see a chance for a cartridge release, as my contact with the original author of the game in Darkbasic never was answered.

Pics of box, manual and OLs please.

(Seriously though, Rev will have this made into a huge CIB game in no time)

You only had to wait 5 years.  You must have been a good boy.
