Synopsis

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.

The games in the series 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.
