Ancient Domains of Mystery (ADOM) Ancient Domains of Mystery (ADOM) Title Ancient Domains of Mystery (ADOM) Game Type RPG Players 1 Compatibility All Available Aminet game/role/Adom_68020.lha 891K Submission Steven Pearson [email protected] Review When I first downloaded this game I was hooked instantly. I had a quick flick through the manual and I saw a keypress for Clean Ears. What kind of a game has a key for Clean Ears. Adom is set in a realm that is experienced an invasion from the hordes of chaos. Good people are being corrupted and unless a hero can save them the world will be destroyed. Typical story line, of course you could approach this from the opposite direction. A hero could become strong and enter the realm of chaos to become a new chaos god. This is an even harder task than saving the world and to my knowledge has not yet been achieved although from all indications from the games characters it should be possible. Role-play games are by their nature difficult to get into, especially this one. Adom has keys for everything from talking to people, swapping places with neutral characters, praying to your God, Making a sacrifice, wiping your Face and even 3 ways to pick something up. Everything that this game can do is for a reason though, it's been born out of years of beta testing with little extras bolted on over time. The game isn't the chimera you'd imagine it to be though it's based around a brilliant basic engine. Nothing in this game is decided until you make it happen. Dungeons are generated on the fly, and then remembered in case you ever return, You can drop a single gold coin at the bottom of a dungeon and years later return to collect it. The dungeon will look the same and until Monsters get the ability to pick things up your coin will be waiting, but if you start another game the dungeons are recreated anew, and everything is different. There are a few stable elements in the game. The towns and villages are in about the same place and always look the same. Th
