Well done indeed. Now try it with Enhanced Edition *haha* 

That would be a sight to behold

Very well done and can remember your wizard only entire campaign from years ago. I shall enjoy watching this one all the way through. Thanks



(Try dgvoodoo2 control panel to make the game look even better if you aren't already,  as I noticed the dgvoodoo2 watermark which is on by default but can switched off via the control panel, see the help fix guide)

Haha, thanks!
For dgvoodoo2, no matter what I've tried it always runs at 640x480, gave up on it after some time. I'm just glad it works at all in Windows 10

A long time ago (like, Pentium 3 times) I finished the last mission of the game using only the Wizard. Since then I've been wondering if I could do the entire campaign in a similar way. Turns out it's possible it was fun. Finished the game with 57676 gold coins, could have done even better if I didn't mess up here and there.

There are timestamps in the video if you want to watch a specific mission. The final level was surprisingly the most boring one as I didn't get the teleport spell and had to do a lot of walking. Maps where you continuously get attacked from all directions are the most fun ones.

The dropbox links are dead.

Link to all uncompressed files are below. You may want to download them directly instead of streaming as compression destroys the darker scenes again.

Thank you for all the positive responses, glad you liked them.

@Jaroslav80 Nagash was my favourite cutscene, the scenery is so beautiful. I've used the below snap as wallpaper for many years!

Oh, haven't thought about the remake project, I'll be very happy if these end up there some day, cheers!

Hello all,

Not sure if I'm posting to the correct place, but I've upscaled Dark Omen cinematics to 1080p, removed the black bars, removed some noise & sharpened them. Wanted to share the results with you. Used something called "Topaz Video Enhance AI" for it. Tbh it did most of the work by itself, I just played a bit with the presets.

There were a few details it thought was noise and removed (like snowfall in Nagash cinematic), but I believe the overall result is very nice, and enjoyed rewatching the cinematics in their new 1080p (kinda) glory. It also gave me a reason to play the campaign again for the millionth time.

A few screenshots of before-after, in case you don't want to download/watch the actual videos, but curious about the difference;

I'd advise you to download from Dropbox for the full experience, as YouTube does its thing, and compresses videos kinda badly.

Hello,

I found a CD given by a Gaming Magazine 14 years ago (June 1998) which included the demo version of Dark Omen.

I have no idea if it'll be compatible with new operating systems, but since you asked, and it's probably hard to find the demo of such an old game, I'm putting it up here.

Have fun!
