We have recently found a very good new RPG door. This door is similar
the Usurper type of game. It has GREAT ansi one every screen. Your
armour and weapons actually recieve damage as you battle and you need to
return to the blacksmith to repair them. Their value is also effected
by the condition they are in. If Usurper and LORD type games are
popular on your BBS then you will want to give this one a look see!

The Mad King's Dungeon Version 1.10 Copyright 1994 programed by Charles
Marchant.

Seems one dark night a band of the King's men wandered drunk upon your
sleeping family. They then raped, pillaged, and burnt them, their lands
and livestock to the ground. As fate would have it you were at the fair that
night, getting drunk on your pathetic wages you get as a dung shoveler at a
nearby stable and came upon the gruesome spectacle that morning.
Crying in the ash and blood you swear to kill the King in order to gain
revenge for your family.

Grabbing what you can you set out to the castle to extract revenge from
the hide of the King when you're met by a ghost. The ghost tells you his
sad story of death at the King's hands and offers some advice to you.

Player Classes

There are 5 classes to choose from in MKD and each class has it's own
special skills and bonuses. They are as follows.

1) Warrior   This is the generic class, strong and healthy. They start
             with more body points and greater power than the other
             classes, can bash down doors easier and wield the best
             armor in the game. It takes less exp to gain a new level
             than the other 4 classes.

2) Thief     Thieves start with greater speed, luck and agility than
             the other classes. They have a greater chance to pick
             locks and steal gold than the others. They can sneak about
             unseen and attempt to murder other pc/npc.

3) Monk      Monks are the hand to hand fighters of the game. They have
             both kicking and punching skills that none of the other
             classes have. They also have a high luck which helps
             in defense against magic.

4) Mage      Mages are one of the two spell weavers of the game. They
             have greater knowledge than the others and can develop
             some very destructive spells that can even burn its
             victim's armor and weapons.

5) Cleric    Clerics are the "healers" of the game although they also
             have some very strong combat spells. But the use of them
             slowly turns them to evil. Clerics, once they reach level
             15, can be the most deadly of pc's in the game with the
             ability to 'steal souls' from their victims. Clerics have
             a greater wisdom than the other classes.

Right now MKD can handle comport 1 to 4 internal and 1 to 8 via a fossil
driver. At a max speed of 38400. No non-standard IRQ's or base addresses
are supported in this version. Future versions will support comports 1
to 8 internal , digi boards and non standard IRQ's and addresses. MKD
can run in local mode also.

MKD supports the following drop files:
DORINFOx.DEF
DOOR.SYS
CHAIN.TXT

MKD fully supports shared files and does all its reading and writing in
shared mode. Be sure to have SHARE installed.  Future releases of MKD
will have some very interactive multi node play.
