Three video games set on Athas were released by SSI in the 1990s:Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); }) Dark Sun: Shattered Lands (1993) centers on the city-state of Draj. The player's party begin as gladiators in the city's arena, but soon escape to the surrounding desert. At the same time the sorcerer-king is preparing to crush the settlements of free people around the city. The player has to unite the disparate villages. Dark Sun: Wake of the Ravager (1994) takes place in and around Tyr, probably between Troy Denning's novels The Verdant Passage and The Crimson Legion. The same party becomes entangled in the activities of the Veiled Alliance, working against the Dragon who has put into motion plans to awaken and control the titular Ravager (actually a tarrasque). Dark Sun: Crimson Sands (1996) was an early MMORPG, with Tyr and its surroundings as the stage again. Plagued with technical problems, it never quite took off and closed down after three years. It has no single-player mode; enthusiasts tried relaunching it several times, but none of the attempts lasted.The former 2 games are being sold on Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })GOG Dot Com, the latter is Abandonware.What else is there to say about those games? Together with Ravenloft duology they were the pinnacle of SSI's adaptations of AD&D to computers. Until Baldur's Gate in 1998 they remained the best AD&D videogames and probably the best Western RPGs too. Baldur's Gate and Planescape did a better job with new technology, but fans still argue if Dark Sun was better in some aspects.Needs a Better Description | |

Walking Wasteland: Invoked in one cutscene with Lord Warrior. When he casts a defiler spell, bushes around him shrink visibly and the grass under him is already brown. Victory cutscene shows the same place with green grass and lush bushes. | |

RPGs Equal Combat | |
| Dark Sun (Video Game) / int_178cb4b9 | comment |
RPGs Equal Combat: These games tried hard to avert that, offering alternative routes and rewarding non-combat solutions with XP. From fast talking, to application of thief skills, to psionics. Still, in many cases the combat is unavoidable, and you need no be prepared for it anyway. | |

Religion of Evil | |
| Dark Sun (Video Game) / int_187bddc1 | comment |
Religion of Evil: Sorcerer-kings and their templars are a given. On smaller scale there are: Ratmen cult whose main activity is robbing the unbelievers. The goal of their leader is killing both the defiler Dagolar and all rat-people, thus earning pardon from the sorcerer-king. The shadow-worshipping Ssuran tribe. First, they ask you to kill the shadows, because they no longer help. Then they try to kill you to worship your shadows. The defiler in charge of Magera tribe — sacrificing them to summon demons and claiming they "ascended". Another defiler hiding in silt, pretending to be a giant monster, worshipped by a smaller band of Magera, demanding human sacrifices. | |

| Dark Sun (Video Game) / int_28a3b1a8 | comment |
Party in My Pocket/All in a Row: The former is the default state after combat, the latter can be toggled manually (diamond formation, to be precise). Party in My Pocket gurantees that any sudden attack would be met by a compact formation, while with All in a Row characters may get stuck behind. Besides that neither gives any advantages. A leader walking through another party member causes them to swap — at least this part was done right. | |

Game-Breaking Bug | |
| Dark Sun (Video Game) / int_33ca811a | comment |
Game-Breaking Bug: Sometimes when the party enters a location everybody and everything stand up and walk to the exit. This includes NPCs, enemies, even treasure chests, doors and sewer pipes. After that you can only reload. The problem is that the bug may manifest immediately after being triggered — or several locations later. This means having to backtrack quite far. The game may crash on cutscenes, including the unskippable victory in Shattered Lands. Looks like the total number of objects in a given location is limited, and exceeding it with player's full inventory makes some disappear. | |

Copy Protection: When you try to enter the 4th location, the Dragon himself challenges you through the mindlink to read a word from the manual. This allows to get the taste of the games' combat system, dialogues, multiple choices, but prohibits unauthorized users to advance further. Yet it poses an in-universe question: if Dragon can kill the heroes any second, why didn't he? | |

No Honor Among Thieves: Every time you attack a powerful defiler, he mistakes your for agents of another defiler he's been dealing with. Too bad the game doesn't allow to exploit this further and provoke a war between them. Wyvern Master wants you to kill Tara. When you meet, he is paying her with Human Sacrifices for a wyvern-controlling device. But if Tara kills you, it'll count as yet another sacrifice for her. | |

Welcome to Corneria | |
| Dark Sun (Video Game) / int_6d07bf85 | comment |
Welcome to Corneria: Unimportant NPCs do have a single statement they keep repeating. However, when your actions change the world in a way that affects them, they do acknowledge that, averting the trope. The biggest problem with unpolished dialogues isn't the lack of new NPC lines, but multiple bugs that make them say wrong lines. Worse, killed enemies would occasionally start talking to you as if still alive. | |

Covers Always Lie | |
| Dark Sun (Video Game) / int_7315fd38 | comment |
Covers Always Lie: The box art for Shattered Lands, used as the page illustration, is the cover of the novel The Crimson Legion by Troy Denning. It depicts Rikus, the gladiator-cum-general of free Tyr. The game is set far from Tyr and Rikus never appears. You may have a mule in your party and he may look a bit like Rikus, but the game version of Rikus'es favourite weapon is quite ineffective. The box art for Wake of the Ravager is the cover of the game book Slave Tribes by Bill Slavicsek. It describes Athasian slavery in general, and the life in the desert far from city-states: tribes of escaped slaves, free villages unknown to sorcerer-kings... While you party are the heroes that saved three such villages, none of that appears in the game. Come think of it, switching the covers might've been an improvement. | |

The beast tamer is going to travel to that land and agrees to sell his mastyrial (giant scorpion) for just a bag of salt. Everybody involved agrees the price is ridiculously high for Draj area, but still roll with it. | |

Healing Hands: In the slave pens Dinos touches Gilal's head, concentrates, and she feels better. Dinos seems to be a ranger with some clerical magic, or he may have used psionics. | |

Black-and-White Morality | |
| Dark Sun (Video Game) / int_7abd339f | comment |
Black and White Morality: The games are quite simple in that regard. Free villages want to live — that's good, Tectuktitlay wants to eradicate them — that's bad. Tyr wants to build its future without sorcerer-kings — that's good, Draxans and templars want to restore the old ways — that's bad. You are just simple people fighting for your survival. Good guys put their conflicts aside, when defilers and dragon kings are near. | |

Point of No Return | |
| Dark Sun (Video Game) / int_7ae4d273 | comment |
Point of No Return: After getting allied with two villages and reporting to Teaquetzl, you have the choice: rest and prepare for battle, explore the ruined Korbnor or fight the army of Draj, but it may still be possible to teleport with Llod's Rod. After you enter Korbnor, there's no way back — only to overcome this location (rest will be available at some point) and then fight the army. | |

Inevitable Tournament | |
| Dark Sun (Video Game) / int_830ceec9 | comment |
Inevitable Tournament: The game starts with it. If you win, you go to the pens, rest and fight again. There are multiple ways to end it: Win 4 times and your 5th group of opponents will offer to join forces and break out. Insult the announcer and the king, and the announcer will open the gates and send soldiers against you. If you kill them all, run free. Break open the arena gates and fight the same number of soldiers. Steal the keys from guards, sneak and fight through a relatively unguarded route. Help your inmates and several more opportunities open. | |

Psychic Powers | |
| Dark Sun (Video Game) / int_874176be | comment |
Psychic Powers: Dark Sun was the first tabletop ADnD setting to widely use Psionics. In the games every living character has them. Unfortunately, much was left out: Only 3 disciplines are available out of tabletop 6: psychokinesis, psychometabolism and telepathy. Psionicist class can advance in all 3, the rest are wild talents in 1 discipline plus Mind Blank. The nuances of various sciences and devotions were dropped, making many of them effectively identical spells and thus redundant. The non-combat use of psionics is limited to very few scripted scenes. Still, clever combination of psionics with (cleric) magic is often a Game Breaker. | |

Sliding Scale of Linearity vs. Openness: Much more Railroading than in the first game. You can't leave the city or access most of teleporter tapestries until you trigger Veiled Alliance giving you certain missions. That said, when there are multiple objectives, you can do them in any order, and there are numerous inconsequential sidequests. Take Your Time applies too. | |

Potentially friendly NPCs also include Tari (rat people), Ssurans (lizard people), an unnamed "undermountain folk", Magera (another kind of giants), Jann, Verini (Neutral Good salamanders) and a single Pyreen. | |

Numerical Hard | |
| Dark Sun (Video Game) / int_8ee83b3e | comment |
Numerical Hard: The difficulty slider only affects enemies' HP, about 10% per step. The sound effects that accompanied moving the slider deserve mentioning: "Make way for the queen's garbage!" for "easy", a human shriek for "balanced", "Die!" for "hard" and a rampager's roar for "hideous". As another way to change difficulty numerically, the game allows to manually set characters' stats instead of rolling them. You can maximize or minimize them. | |

First and Rebel Mindhomes will merge again when you solve the spider problem. | |

Scaled Up: The Verdant Passage novel tells how king Kalak of Tyr built a pyramid to sacrifice people and become a dragon. In Shattered Lands king Tectuktitlay of Draj built a similar pyramid and started similar gladiator fights. Wake of the Ravager shows the player Tyr pyramid, witness accounts and the aftermath. Also, there's a suggestion that Lord Warrior was made undead to prevent him becoming a dragon. One defiler in Shattered Lands aims to become a living statue of a snakeman. He succeeds, and if you don't kill him immediately (which isn't very hard), you'll fight him in the final battle. | |

Fate Worse than Death: The story of the ruined underground temple. The magic of a sorcerer-king killed everybody, but doesn't let them move on. They inhabit the ruins as shadows and most of them went insane. Only Tynan (who angered the king by loving his daughter) and A'Poss (the traitor) remain sane thanks to their training and probably heartstones and Tristram (king's daughter) is still mostly there thanks to the heartstone Tynan made. | |

Mechanically Unusual Class: Psionicist. This was the 2nd edition, where psionicists were the loved-or-hated oddballs. Everybody is at least a wild talent, and it can be quite useful. In earlier SSI games (and other D&D-inspired RPGs) fighters were the class who could use any weapons. But in Dark Sun exotic gladiator-exclusive weapons appeared. Although they aren't much better than common swords and aren't magical, which makes them of little use against stronger enemies. | |

Wyvern Master wants you to kill Tara. When you meet, he is paying her with Human Sacrifices for a wyvern-controlling device. But if Tara kills you, it'll count as yet another sacrifice for her. | |

Satisfied Street Rat: Stitches, the innkeeper. Got his nickname for wearing clothes with more stitches than cloth back when he was a Street Urchin. Romila, the second-in-command of the Alliance. Doesn't say much about her past, but cares a lot about her gang of Baker Street Regulars, because she used to be like them. | |

Take Your Time: When you reach the "fire pit", you can rest any number of times, it doesn't affect anything. Drajan army will not appear until you are ready, and sidequests can wait too. The only exception is the slave pens at the arena — once you rest, you are summoned to fight again, and each of your victories advances the plot, closing some unfinished tasks and opening new ones. | |

Read the Freaking Manual/All There in the Manual: In an attempt to avert that, the games contain an extensive on-line help (unsurpassed until Baldur's Gate and Fallout 1) and enough story background in dialogues. Wake of the Ravager even boasted a "MANUAL-FREE ZONE, FULL ON-LINE DOCUMENTATION" sign on its box. Still, floppy versions needed the manuals for Copy Protection. | |

Bag of Holding | |
| Dark Sun (Video Game) / int_e3226029 | comment |
Bag of Holding: Weight is not an issue. Number of inventory slots is limited, but each can hold rather big objects. Aditionally, each slot may hold a bag or a chest, with 6 slots each. However, filling all bags/chests causes a game to crash. It also may crash if you try to put a chest inside a chest. Looks like the total number of objects in a given location is limited, and exceeding it makes some disappear. | |

Obvious Beta | |
| Dark Sun (Video Game) / int_e8e0a952 | comment |
Obvious Beta: Besides the Game Breaking Bugs listed above, there are a few non-critical, but glaring problems. Wake of the Ravager was reputed to be buggier. Synchronization of screen updates wasn't working quite right. If you moved too fast, pieces of sprites like doors and walking NPCs could stay hanging in the air. Killed enemies would occasionally start talking to you. It may be possible to rerun an old dialog or explore other branches, yet nothing changes: no XP, no items change hands, no enemies appear. Some quests are broken in ways that allow completing them, but cause weird consequences, if you return. One Shattered Lands Let's Play reports that if you save Jasmine, kill the God Guise defiler and let her captors escape, leave the area and come back later, the captors attack you for killing their sacrifice. Map may not work in Wake of the Ravager. When it works, the dots representing characters are displaced a bit, occasionally putting them inside walls. | |

Disadvantageous Disintegration | |
| Dark Sun (Video Game) / int_fcb733b1 | comment |
Disadvantageous Disintegration: By default every character has psychokinetic powers including "Detonate". Early on it may work better than ranged weapons. Unfortunately, each hit destroys a piece of target's armour, reducing loot value. Conversely, enemies may cast Detonate on you. Aditionally, a few stronger enemies (babau, rampager) have a chance to break a piece of your armour or a weapon with each hit. | |
