Dungeons & Dragons: Shadow Over Mystara Description

A beat-em-up role-playing game that allows up to four players to choose one of the following characters: an elf-mage/warrior, human-fighter, dwarf-fighter, human-cleric, human thief or a human mage. Throughout the game, players must fight and solve puzzles. The group may choose to take different routes during the quest.

Conversion

Although this game is a direct swap for other CPSII games such as Dungeons & Dragons: Tower Of Doom, the locations of the "Select Option" and "Fire Option" buttons are reversed when compared to the original game.

Game Introduction

This game adds two characters not found in the original game: a Female Thief and a male Mage. This version also allows up to two players to select the same character but with different costumes/graphics, thus allowing for a total of twelve "different" characters to choose from. Additionally, this game also has several new features such as character specialty attacks and immunity from "friendly fire."

Game Play

The players are adventurers: a human fighter, a human Cleric, a female Elf warrior-mage, a Dwarven warrior, a female human Thief and a human Magic User. They travel from place to place performing heroic deeds and making the world safe from the forces of darkness, all the while fighting monsters, gathering treasure and advancing in power.

Technical

The third and fourth player controls are mapped to the option connector on the CPS2 board. The fourth button for players one and two are mapped to the JAMMA connector on pins 25 and c, respectively.

Trivia

The gameplay and graphics are like an updated version of Capcom's Final Fight. The little sword-swinging flourish the fighter does after defeating a major enemy is taken directly from Capcom's previous side-scrolling sword fighting game, Knights Of The Round.

Fixes

This game suffers from the usual Capcom battery death problem. The only fix for most of these games is to return the board to Capcom for repair.
