revolverocelot has posted that he is going to write more about Dragon View, so as far as I'm concerned, I'm done.

I just noticed that there are no mp3 links. The name of one of the songs is there listed under MP3s, but there's no link.

Does anyone know who did the artwork for the north american PC & Amiga versions of Drakkhen?? Looks pretty good to me, kind of like Brom's art. By the way, the official manual states "all illustrations by O.Ledroit" when in fact the US cover art (which is the same as the one on the manual's cover) has a signature on the bottom right , over Infogrammes' logo saying "Huston". Ledroit's style has absolutely nothing in common with the cover we're discussing, he did the b&w interior art of the booklet. Anybody know a videogame artist called "Huston" ? If anyone knows who did the artwork for the japanese FM-Towns version as well...

Old thread but Dragon View deserves better than just one apathetic paragraph I think. Pretty solid genre hybrid game and an improvement on the prequel overall.

I should really try replaying this. I had it as a kid but had absolutely no idea what was going on. I'd just wander around until I died.

Some outfit called Classics Digital is looking to make a buck. store.steampowered.com/app/781220/Drakkhen/I got it in this ultra-cheap bundle from Fanatical. They'll probably offer it again sooner or later. www.fanatical.com/en/bundle/dollar-classics-bundleYou may also enjoy its appearance at AGDQ. Tragically, the cart dies partway through, but they pick it up again.

My brother had the PC version. I remember it having some pain in the ass copy protection involving translating spells from runic to English.

I have memories of this one. It was.... 2003-ish? My dad took me to a used game store in a distant city... an amazing place, the first time I had ever seen something like it. At the time, you only saw used games in pawn shops or the like, and those were drying up. (nowadays stores like this one exist in every city near my house, but at the time...)
I remember buying two games there that day: Street Fighter II Champion Edition, which (re)ignited a passion in me for fighting games, and Drakkhen on SNES, which wound up being my life for a few days.
Then after beating it I learned it was considered bad, and like usual, wondered what the f*** was wrong with the rest of the world. Altho I later realized I have a weird way of just intuiting odd or off-kelter design elements... this game in general, I wound up finding ways to break it within a few hours of playing. Like there's one place where you can keep getting infinite suits of the best armor in the game, which IIRC everyone can wear.

I'd check out the sequel if I could find it (emulators are a last resort for me).
Not a huge fan of the CRPG Addict ever since some articles where he made ignorant and outright hostile statements about Tolkien, and even without that sometimes I wonder if he's not a bit of an idiot cuz IIRC he was always getting hung up on silly things.
Someone might look for a fully boxed copy of either the PC or Amiga version to confirm Wikipedia.

I imagine this is the sort of thing that might have been reported on in French video game and computer magazines of the time. They had quite a few of those going on. If I was desperate to find a source, that's where I'd look.
