- 6.  ABOUT
---------------------------------------------------------------------
THE RIDERS OF ROHAN
The Riders Of Rohan [Middle Earth Tale II.] is a qbasic game made using
TEK's N!media and Crows 4id19.
The story is made up (by me) but all characters/races/creatures
are directly transfered from J.R.R Tolkiens books.

GAME FEATURES:
        MAP     - with 40.500 tiles            
        NPC     - over 40 Npc's with full script
        TILES   - over 150 tiles (CroWs:4id19 90 -tiles)
        SOUND   - SoundBlaster SFX
		






OTHER SOFTWARE RELEASES
I've programmed a few games so far.
To get the games below,mail me (and I'll send them).


* The Siege Of Gondor [Middle Earth Tale I.]
A tile-based rpg game created using CroWs 4id19.
The game is like Diablo (one Big town and catacombs under).

* A Candle In The Dark
Also tile-based rpg.The fantasy world is however own produced.
Grafich pretty poor and pc-speaker sound.

* Dreamer
A text-adventure game.Inspired by Clive Barker books and films.
No grafich and no sound.Much to read.


* MIDDLE EARTH TALES
Two games (tales) are done and there are more to come.
Both two games are rpg/tilebased but the third (the one I do now)
will maybe be in 3D.But that is not decided,yet...


---------------------------------------------------------------------
- 7.  FUTURE RELEASES
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Right now I'm creating the upcommer to The Riders Of Rohan, It has no name
but I'm working with the script (plenty to write!) and I can promise that
the game will be using:MIDI,GIF,well thats all I can promise right now...

I'm also trying to make a rpg/future game, but I'm having problems with
creating realistic tiles. And my Problem Nr 1. is that I can't handle
LIBS. which kind of makes my games not as good as they could be.
If you want: Contact Me and learn me how to work with libs.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
