Short: Graphic Adv. (like Monkey Island) v1.5 Author: eric@armann.freeserve.co.uk (Peter Armann) Uploader: eric armann freeserve co uk (Peter Armann) Type: game/role Version: 1.5 Requires: OS1.3, 2Mb Chip, Hard Disk, Fast Ram recommended Architecture: m68k-amigaos 'The Legend of the Elves' is an adventure game in the style of 'Monkey Island' 1+2 or 'Simon the Sorcerer'. There are a few differences in the control mechanism however, so you should read the User Guide before playing the game. In 'The Legend of the Elves', you play the part of Eric, a young Elf who lives with his parents in a small house on Corvée Island. At the start of the game, Eric discovers something which will make him embark on an extremely serious and desperate adventure. The game was originally written to be split into two parts, the storyline of each part taking place on a different island. Unfortunately, development of the game has ceased at the end of Part One, and so you can only play the part of the game which takes place on Corvée Island. This should not, however, decrease your enjoyment of the game. This version of the game MUST be installed to a Hard Drive.
