DAMOCLES for PC

No, you're not dreaming, there is a PC version of Damocles. It was planned to be released at the end of 1995, but nobody really worried as nothing happened (as said Jeff Minter: "you know how much a perfectionnist Paul is, remember how long it took him to finish off the original Damocles?").
But the truth is rather sad: the game was alomst finished when a change in Sony and Psygnosis marketing policy lead them to drop all PC projects. Psygnosis never released the game, and it seems we'll never see it...

Most of these pictures were sent by Mo Warden, with Paul Woakes and Bruce Jordan's agreement. Thanks to you ;) These pics are (c) Novagen and Mo Warden.


Timo Weirich sent the screenshots from the cover CD of a German games magazine called PC Player, issue April 1995.
Simone Gremmo, Derrick Bill Newall and I scanned the other pictures from various magazines:
- May 1995 issue of The Games Machine
- May 1995 issue of Joystick (French)
- April 1995 issue of Edge magazine.
You can find the full reviews in the reviews section.
