Kinzman 2013-06-13 3 points DOS versionYES! I found it!Overlord is probably my most favorite game of all time, and I have been playing on computers since the mid '70s, and I have played a lot of games. Yes, I know I am old.Fortunately for me, I still have the original manual as the game did need you to find a page, paragraph, line, a word, and then enter the word at that position.

• New Overlord Game

I saw nothing in the download for a digital version of this manual. This leads me to feel that those interested in playing the game are being cheated.

Fortunately, the program has been hacked to not need this entry code but the 'experience' of learning from the manual will be missed. Hopefully, at some time in the future, I will scan this manual and make it available to all.Review: HistoryI played This game originally on a 386 SX processor at a 33 mhz processing speed.

The program soon became unplayable as processing speeds increased. This is due to the fact (poor choice of word) that it did not see to be clocked on time rather than processing speed. What this means is that as the computers got faster, so did the game.

As time went on, I tried to play the game on an Intel PIII machine (200 mhz) and the game was over as fast as i started it. Fortunately this download has modified this effect and it is now playable. I can confirm this for a Windows XP machine with an AMD64 3400+ (2 gig) processor.

I do not know if it will run on Vista, but it WILL NOT run of W7.Review: Game PlayThere is little animation and I don't feel that animation would 'improve' the game. It would just be eye candy.

I found it to be quite challenging. I never did beat the 4 opponent.

Every game is different. I found it to be a very complete game for it's time.Final Review: If you like RTS and have an XP (or older) machine.You really need to try Overlord. You wont be disappointed. I wish that someone would pick up the mantel and create an Overlord II.

Overlord II, sequel to the critically acclaimed cult hit, sees the return of the chaotic Minions and their new Dark Master. Bigger, badder and more beautifully destructive, Overlord 2 has a Glorious Empire to smash, a massive Netherworld to revive, Minion mounts to mobilize, a trio of mistresses to woo, War Machines to crush opposition and lots of cute creatures to, err murder (and a mini-map). What sort of stuff will I get to kill? Your main source of victims will come from the brave and highly flammable ranks of the Glorious Empire, a sinister regime that gained power after the fall of the previous Overlord. You’ll be hacking your way through entire battalions at a time, but to keep the blood on your sword varied we’ve also thrown a few Yetis, Elves, villagers and annoyingly cute indigenous species into the mix, just to name but a few. Don’t say we never do anything for you.

I’ve always wanted to enslave the human race, is this the game for me? You’ve come to the right place! With the Domination style Overlord humanity, can become your plaything. Village by village, you’ll reap the benefits of an unwilling workforce as you drive the Glorious Empire from your lands. I’m more of a “watch the world burn” kind of guy, can I still get my rocks off?

We’ve got your pleasure, sir. With the Destruction style Overlord you can ravage the land like a moody Tsunami; razing cities, forests and Imperial camps to the ground just because they looked at you funny. What can my minions do? Minions are angry little Swiss army knives of pain: They can ride into battle on wolves and other magical creatures, loot the best weapons from stomped enemies, pillage houses for treasure, operate fearsome war machines, infiltrate enemy camps and polish your armour so thoroughly you’ll blind passing wildlife.

What types of Minions can I rule? This new batch of minions is smarter, faster, deadlier and wittier than the sorry sacks of skin you used to rule. Minions now come in four fantastic flavours: Browns are brutal brawlers that solve their problems with teeth and fists. Reds are the surly artillery who love to play catch, as long as it’s with fireballs. Greens are the stealthy assassins. Silent and deadly, like a fart on legs. Blues are no use in a fight but can resurrect fellow Minions who’ve tried to stop a sword with their face.
