Ishar - Legend Of The Fortress
Did you know?
One verified detail of the day about the game and its history.
Combat takes place in real time rather than in turns.
Ishar is the direct successor to Crystals of Arborea and marked the beginning of a standalone RPG series developed by the French studio Silmarils.
The game is a classic old-school RPG, although it still lacks some much-needed polish. There's no proper automap, saving your progress costs in-game currency, and the controls are rather clunky, to put it mildly.
One particularly interesting feature, however, is the relationship system between party members. Characters can either like or hate each other, which can lead to some rather amusing situations. Your healer might refuse to heal a particular character, or the party might even hold a vote to kick one of its members out.
Our loader not only improves the controls but also removes the manual-based copy protection challenges that appear several times throughout the game and allows you to save without spending any in-game money. We've also included a complete savegame editor — and, as always with our releases, everything runs natively under DOS.
And before someone starts complaining: Yes, we'll be taking a look at the sequels too, in due course.
DOS Cracks & Copy Protection
In period DOS collections, technical copy-protection fixes were often called “cracks”. DOSGAME.AT documents this historical context as part of preservation and compatibility work.
