Input with the controller in the menus is super-loud. I think this loud twitchiness happened after I changed the screen resolution from the default 720p (I think it was), maybe. Finally had to switch to mouse/keyboard input for the menus, which for some reason is a separate setting.
Also, makes my laptop fan CRANK constantly. Not a great sign of engineering. Developed by Iron Galaxy.
There's a full-screen flash when KOing monsters in Mystara, which also has that annoying rotating-over-head inventory system or whatever. Tower is okay.
Runs inset in a slightly bordered window for some reason, even after you change the screen setting to use the full screen size. |

| | | | Actually, it doesn't do standard 720p; it has loads of resolutions under 1080p, but the closest to 720 is 1280x768 or something like that. Fortunately it does have standard 1920x1080--you just gotta scroll through a lot of other resolutions to get to it. |

| | | - Game reverts to 1680x1050 if you task-switch ; PPP
- Used RivaTuner Statistics Server to limit framerate to 60 after turning off VSYNC
^ That also fixed the twitchy menu control |

Playing through "Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom"--in the Steam version of "Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara" on PC--as Fighter, on the default "two skull" difficulty!
I think it may have been the slower pace and inventory management of D&D that kept me from feeling like it was at the top tier of beat-em-ups, but this time I really got into it and had a lot of fun. = )) Not sure I had realized before how many alternate areas and routes it has! And man, I'd forgotten how long it it! But I had a good time all the way through with the fighter's jump slash and missing everyone with flaming oil bags and everything. ^ _^
Rivatuner Statistics Server, which I use to keep this 2013 port from melting down my GPU after turning off the "Vsync" option, is free at https://www.guru3d.com/download/rtss-rivatuner-statistics-server-download/
Also, I have to run it in Windowed mode 'cause it has trouble staying in the right resolution--and capturing in OBS--in its fullscreen mode. 'p' |

|
| | | | The install directory has main.rom and gfx.rom files, along with other stuff, in zip files called "essentials" for both Shadow Over Mystara and Tower of Doom. Can't seem to run 'em in MAME or Final Burn Neo, though. : P |
|
|
| | | | Hm it looks like I was using DS4Windows with this. And I'm not getting Steam Input to make the DualSense work now. |
