A.D. 2044 PC

8-bit computer enthusiasts associate the name of Roland Pantola with excellent adventures published in the early 1990s by LK Avalon. One of his greatest successes was the game A.D. 2044 addressed to Atari ST, which was released in 1991. Five years later the developer decided to prepare a PC version of his hit.

Although the work on A.D. 2044 did not use the original screenplay of the film "Sexmission", many ideas in the feature layer refer to the cult comedy. The main character is hibernated and wakes up after several decades in a world completely dominated by women. It must not only survive, but also restore the natural order, i.e. resurrect the male sex.

In terms of workmanship and techniques used, the game does not differ from the level of adventures published at the same time, such as 7th Guest. The creators of A.D. 2044 have tried to obtain a large number of logical puzzles, which may not be especially difficult, but require the use of gray cells. The classic interface of the game does not sin with its functionality, but it is relatively easy to use and does not absorb much attention.

A.D. 2044's big advantage is its visual setting. Realistic, rendered 3D graphics and a multitude of animations are eye-catching. Unfortunately, the soundtrack, with a few exceptions, does not create the right atmosphere.

It is worth noting that LK Avalon's work was the first Polish computer game released on two CDs. The premiere of A.D. 2044 was also preceded by an extensive advertising campaign.

In 1998, the publisher decided to release a version for computers with Windows operating system, which fixes the most common errors and adds a few new elements.
