I also have these #LoneWolf#FlightFromTheDark#FireOnTheWater#ZXSpectrum games back in1984but they were just the tapes,no box or book. So it was nice to get these. The books haven't been touched&are in perfect mint condition.

The path that finally led me to a successful completion of #FireOnTheWater#FlightFromTheDark took. (10/x)

My thoughts on/review of Lone Wolf Book 1: #FlightFromTheDark (a thread) First, just some basic numbers-- FFTD consists of 350 individually numbered sections, of which my story path encompassed 61, meaning that I read appx 17% of the book. (1/x)

I've completed Lone Wolf Book 1: #FlightFromTheDark! I'll post some final thoughts and an overall review later in the day.

Earlier in the book, the King's dying son told me to "seek that which is in Durenor." I learn that this refers to the Sommerswerd, a great weapon capable of defeating the Darklords. That is to be the object of my next quest in Lone Wolf Book 2: Fire on the Water. Saving my game. EP = 21/23

#FlightFromTheDark Session 7 I am at the outskirts of Holmgard, capital city of Sommerlund, continuing to evade pursuers. But Darklords' minions have cut down one of the King's men and I cannot stand idly by. To battle! 75 > 260

#FlightFromTheDark Session 6 Loading up my saved game at Section 176. I'm still pretty badly wounded from my last combat, but I am pretty close to my destination, the city of Holmgard. In order to hopefully avoid my pursuers, I'm going to travel thru the woods for now. EP = 7/23 176 > 126

#FlightFromTheDark Session 5 I've got some time to kill and this is probably the only chance I'll get to play today, so I'm loading up my saved game with Section 81. I've come to a road and have spotted the King's Guard. I need to get to the capital, so I'm going to call out to them. 81 > 183

#FlightFromTheDark Session 4 Loading the saved game at Section 331. Fleeing from the minions of the Darklords, I come across the entrance to a tunnel. I know that some of my pursuers are airborne so I want to stay concealed whenever possible. I enter the tunnel. EP = 19/23 331 > 170

#FlightFromTheDark Session 3 I've got about 45 minutes to kill, so I'll tackle some more of Lone Wolf Book 1. Loading my saved game and I'm in Section 19. Fleeing from the minions of the Darklords who destroyed the Kai monastery, my way is blocked by poisonous briars.

So now I'm on Section 1 of #FlightFromTheDark and I'm loading up my saved game. With the Kai Lords wiped out, the kingdom of Sommerlund has lost its first line of defense against the invasion by the Darklords. I have to reach Sommerlund's capital, Holmgard.
