IvanZX's Games of 2016: The Dark

THE DARK - OLEG ORIGIN

MANY PEOPLE SAID THAT IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO CREATE A FIRST PERSON SHOOTER FOR THE SPECTRUM (EVEN AFTER SEEING THE OLD ATTEMPTS FROM THE RUSSIAN SCENE) FROM THE LIKES OF DOOM & QUAKE, BUT THE GREAT CODER OLEG ORIGIN DID IT AGAIN, AND PROGRAMMED A MIRACULOUS PIECE OF SOFTWARE... IN ONLY 48K!

THE DARK IS A FPS WHERE YOU PLAY THE ROLE OF A HERO WHO RETURNS TO HIS NATIVE LAND TO SET IT FREE FROM INVADING MONSTERS.

THE FEELING OF WALKING ALONE IN THE LABYRINTHS & BEING AMBUSHED AT ANY MOMENT IS, ALONG WITH THE REALISM AND SOLID ENGINE, THE MAIN ATTRACTIVE POINT. THE GRAPHICS ARE WELL DRAWN THOUGH LACK VARIETY. OTHER GOOD DETAILS ARE THE INTRO WITH SYNTHI-SPEECH AND GOOD LEVEL DESIGN. THE LACK OF MUSIC PREVENTS IT BEING A 5/5, SO IT'S A SOLID 4/5.
