#Magic the gathering shandalar game cant use deck editor software
To this day I continue to be entertained by this piece of software written over 17 years ago, which I think is amazing. Last year I finally made the switch to Windows 7 and was afraid that the program wouldn't run, but I found that it worked in a Windows XP SP2 compatibility mode just fine. I dowloaded the game and rediscovered the fun, as the fix worked flawlessly. I still have the oversized Aswan Jaguar that came with the boxed game.įast forward to about 2008, when I found the complete game on a download site that claimed it had been fixed to run under XP. I found Microprose's game challenging and fun.many sleepless nights were spent playing the game. Yes, the AI had flaws, but consider the number of cards offered (EVERY 4th addition card!) and what they do.I once tried to create a video game AI, and it is extremely difficult. This was a time when the internet was in its infancy, and the wealth of information and resources available were non-existent compared to today's internet.
Developed by Sid Meier (of Civilization fame), he created an amazing AI to challenge the player. I instantly fell in love with all aspects of the game, including the deck builder, the gauntlet, and the RPG-like Shandalar. The PC game seemed like a good compromise.
At the time I was big into PC gaming, and though I was intrigued by the physical card game from Wizards of the Coast, I had no desire to spend hundreds thousands of dollars to try to collect cards. In 1997 Microprose released its Magic the Gathering game for the PC under Windows 95.
