we should really move these kind of topics into requests and approve/deny it right after it gets identified.
jeez we even have separate forum with unidentified games in it

This is/was a fantastic old amiga game featuring three different lords (even the 'good guy' fed his dragons children though) who raised dragons from eggs, cast alchemist magic on the dragons and towns around them and used the grown dragons to control the surrounding countryside while searching for 3 parts of a magic thing.

It seems to be available as a DL for amiga emulators at the moment and i found a PC DL somewhere once but it had a corrupt file which meant the first trader (and maybe all the rest) didn't work properly. So i'd love to see a fully functional PC version here on Abandonia! I'll even review it for free! Hehhe.

The game is split into a few different types of activity which you can do most of each turn. There are screens where you can view your currently hatched dragons and incubating eggs. From there and any town viewing screen you can move to the alchemy set and mix spells to use on them.

Spells are one of the most important parts of the game and you buy new componenets from travelling merchants (which is why the corrupt file was terminal). There are dozens of things which can be cut, chopped, mixed, heated and distilled before being combined into spells but there is also the risk of making too powerful a spell and having it explode before you can cast it!

Spells can make dragons stronger, faster or smarter, towns grow faster or lose population and even gold appear in your coffers (IIRC).

I could go on and on...

Anyone able to make me a very happy man(child)?

Does anyone know about the game called Dragon lord or dragon breath? It was for the PC and AMIGA computer gaming systems. When i try and play the PC version i keep crashing when i do the arcade aspect of it. basically the game is where you use alchemy to hatch a dragon egg, use alchemy to make the dragon stronger, a village stronger or weaker (depending on if you want to help or hinder). I used to love this game and since i cant use a 5 1/4 floppy drive i could never get to play this game again.

i did finally find this game on Myabandonware.com but if you do any type of "Training" on a dragon mission, your game shuts down with a fatal error 11.

Was hoping someone here could look into this and see if its a copyright or if i'm doing DOSbox wrong.

The reason i'm asking this is cause you all got my MechWarrior to work when it kept crashing on that first real mission .

Checked: Myabandonware have broken version. (My own works right). But you are not in correct thread, so I suppose, someone with more moderatorial experience will remove your post in more appropriate place.

Where did you get your version from then? I would LOVE to play this game without that glitch

The request for this game has been approved for a while... how about reviewing it for AB?

[ironnails]

Who would review for AB? Smiling Spectre? I'd really love to get this game to run properly .

Hey, did you two, Smiling Spectre and IronNails ever swap the files and get the working game? I love this game too but also don't have a 100% copy. (see earlier in this thread, they're merged)

I'd be very happy to do the review though. Could probably even do it form memory from the last time I played, but that was through an Amiga emulator. Can get screen shots of the PC version though.

(You don't need to do the arcade training mission town attacks if you use magic to make the dragon Wise enough (then fix it's eyesight...)).

I have now written a review for this game, after forgetting about it for some time and being too busy. I will submit required files this evening.

(I recently reinstalled DOSBox and copied over my retro game folder to a newer PC and was reminded of this. Checked the site and forum and see that nothing has happened in five years (!) and decided now was the time to do it.

After double checking my version was complete.

So after spending some time waiting on the side of the road for a new battery for my van, the review is now written and we can spread the greatness that is Dragon’s Breath to the world.

Joy. )
