Another hot news update as we've just been informed by FrozenEmpire, that they have released a 3D remake of 'The Lords of Midnight' by Mike Singleton; a game for its time which featured a groundbreaking technique called landscaping to depict the lands of Midnight from a first-person perspective. It was originally released way back in 1984 for the ZX Spectrum, C64 and the Amstrad CPC, in many magazines it was voted with high scores and even a game of the year.
According to the creator of this fine looking remake, although the game's default mechanics remain faithful to the original and is a free download using a wide variety of paid professional game dev assets. The playing experience has been significantly adapted through a total 3D conversion and the addition of an immersive soundtrack which contains many custom pieces written specifically for the game. There are also several additions including options for a custom ruleset bringing increased levels of difficulty, and a community leaderboard where you can compare the quality of your victories with other Midnight commanders... So yes it certainly sounds like it could be a good game indeed for fans of Lords of Midnight!
