Promethean Legacy
dice-rolling strategy game for Commodore 64, 2022
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Promethean Legacy is a dice-rolling strategy game for the Commodore 64. You
have six dice and the number of pips on the sides of each die can be
increased (or decreased!). At the start of each game the dice have low
numbers on each side, some are even blank.
Move the cursor over a dice and press fire to pick it up, then you can drag it
to an open slot and press fire again to drop it. If the slot is not valid,
the dice will return home.
Complete quests by placing qualifying dice into the slots, which will upgrade
one or more of the dice involved, or reward you in some other way. The game
is won when the five 'monument' quests are completed, which involve placing
dice totalling a target amount that increases each time. Try and complete the
game in as few turns as possible!
The catch is that you must keep at least one sacred fire burning after each
turn. These can be lit by sacrificing a pip on one dice, by building a
monument or completing certain other quests. The game is over if the fire
runs out and no sacrifice is made or qualifying quest completed.
