About this game

Deathlord is a 1987 role-playing game created by Al Escudero and David Wong and published by Electronic Arts for the Apple II and Commodore 64 computer systems.

Drawing on Japanese flavor, the game presents an immense world designed for a lengthy adventure. Its setting includes 16 continents, 128 unique monsters, and 20 dungeons.

Despite its large game world, Deathlord fits on just two double-density 5¼-inch floppy disks by compressing blocks of identical squares on its maps.
