Demons Ring
GAME » on March 12, 1984
Horror themed adventure game developed by Nihon Falcom for Japanese computers.


Overview

Demons Ring is an "Occult Fantasy Adventure" game released in March 12, 1984 for the NEC PC-88 and was an early title developed by Nihon Falcom [2]. The game involves the player solving puzzles by interacting with the environment through the use of a text parser and was an example of Falcom's technical know-how at the time. Every contemporary Japanese adventure game released for computers during this period would draw its graphics line-by-line and slowly fill in the colors, a long process that would need to be done anytime the scene changed to a new image. Demons Ring, on the other hand, could transition to different images in under half a second, a feature that was heavily advertised by Falcom and something that would eventually become a standard for the genre moving forward.
