Deliverance is a platform game developed and published by 21st Century Entertainment in 1992-1993 for the Amiga, Atari ST and DOS. It is a remake of the 1990 Hewson Consultants game Deliverance: Stormlord II, featuring new graphics and sound as well as a changed gameplay system and a different plot.
Gameplay
The Amiga and Atari ST (1992) and Macintosh (1993) versions are different from the original 8-bit game, bearing similarity in its graphical style and gameplay to the 1991 game Gods but with better visuals than it. The final section of the game involves riding on back of an undead dragon.
Plot
The plot is also different than in the 8-bit game, as Stormlord has succeeded in his mission to free The Realm's fairies but failed to slay the wicked Queen Bahd, who managed to escape and vanished. Eventually, after many years of peace and harmony, Bahd has returned, this time in league with the Satan himself. With his help, she has again kidnapped the fairies and so Stormlord has to return and finish the job he originally set out to do. His task is to locate, free and then deliver the imprisoned fairies from Satan's Palace, through the Pits of Hell and the Enchanted Forest, to the devil-ridden skies of Heaven, where he can use the amassed power of the rescued fairy-folk to defeat the forces of evil once and for all.
Reception
The game was well received,[1][2][3][4][5][6] including being awarded the monthly awards of "Gamer Gold" by Amiga Computing and "CU Screen Star" by CU Amiga.[7]
