Description:
A story 19 years in the making, you take on the role of the antihero Jareth Stone who has nothing to lose as he pursues an immortal sorceress who killed his mentor. A tale of evil versus evil, TWOS explores the hideous nature of humanity's dark side whilst also exploring the power of righteousness that can somehow flow from intense hatred.
This game was originally prototyped in GW-BASIC in 1993 as a Final Fantasy clone. It was then developed in QuickBASIC 4.5, where it won the QB Gaming Gold Generations award in 2000. It has since then been prototyped in RPG Maker 2000 and freeBASIC, but the lack of a dedicated graphics artist hindered its development each time. Now, it's making its final stand on the PC Engine with the dedicated graphics artist it has needed all these years. Spanning three CDROMs, it is the largest game ever developed for the PC Engine, and the first major independent production to make use of the Arcade Card accessory.
