LOMJAR: The Lords of Midnight, Java Version

“Night has fallen and the Foul are abroad...”

The latest version was released on 28 November, 2005.

NEW PORT: Topfield PVR Version

The Lords of Midnight is a classic game originally written by Mike Singleton for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum. This version, written in Java, recreates faithfully the look and feel of the original 8-bit epic game, allowing you to visit once again the land of Midnight and rally the Free and the Fey against the evil Witchking, Doomdark.

The Lords of Midnight is not a standard adventure game, nor is it a standard war game; it is what was termed an epic game. In the game, you guide characters on vital quests but will also command armies that must endeavour to hold back Doomdark's legions.

More information is available in the game manual, which has been reproduced on Chris Wild's site.
