Synopsis

Plot

The game takes place several centuries after Colossal Adventure. You take the role of an absolutely inexperienced wizard who is tasked with overthrowing the demon lord Agaliarept. This takes you through a desert as well as a large underwater area until you finally arrive at the demon lord's dark tower.

Notes

The games in the trilogy originally had various references to Tolkien's body of work and was therefore known as the Middle-Earth trilogy. When it was re-released by Rainbird, all Tolkien references were dropped and the trilogy retitled Jewels of Darkness.

On the Amstrad PCW, Apple II, and the 16-bit platforms, the game was only released as part of this trilogy. The Jewels of Darkness version also had illustrations added, the original versions were text-only.

The date of release for this adventure is often listed as 1983, however magazine advertising as early September 1982 show that the release date on the initial formats was 1982.

In the early days of Level 9, both 16K and expanded 32K variants of Adventure Quest were released for the Nascom, BBC, Spectrum, and ZX81. After the release of Dungeon Quest, the 16K versions were no longer sold.
