Quote:
Silver, released in 1999, is a role-playing video game for Microsoft Windows, Dreamcast and Macintosh OS. The game was produced by Infogrames initially for Windows, and later on the Dreamcast. The story focuses around a young warrior called David and his quest to retrieve his wife from the clutches of the villain Silver. On his journey he gains a number of followers and visits many different landscapes. The game sold over 400,000 copies.

The game features polygonal 3D characters drawn against a pre-rendered 2D background. The character design is inspired from Manga/Anime culture. The battle system of Silver is notable for being completely real-time opposed to many similar light role-playing games, which usually have turn-based combat. The player may choose any character in his adventuring party to control, and the rest of the characters are handled automatically by AI. The story focuses largely on collecting eight magic orbs representing different elements, which are Fire, Ice, Health, Earth, Acid, Lightning, Time and Light. Each orb is located at an area themed around the orb, and the player may use the collected orbs to cast different kind of spells against his enemies.

Unfortunately I couldn't find a single place to legally obtain this game online. There is a scene release out, the filenames are "flt-slv".

Although gameplay is completely different, this game somehow has a FF7 feel for me. I really loved this game, despite the fact that it is kinda short.

Ok so I tried replaying this game now, but apparently there are problems on Windows 7.

I got it to run fine until now by doing this:

Use this patched .exe file:

Before starting the game, kill explorer.exe (i.e. over the task-manager), then start the game exe over the task-manager.

I think I'll just grab the Dreamcast version and run it through Null or Makaron instead. Looking online, the PC one is fraught with issues on recent hardware/Windows. Such a shame as I played the demo MANY years ago and remember absolutely loving it.

Yeah, but then you will be stuck with gamepad controls, IMO this game is better with k/m...

It's an RPG in the style of Final Fantasy VII... if you think FFVII is better played with keyb/mouse then, heh, good luck. Hell, even the PC version of Silver has the same radial-menu selector...... which fits analogue sticks perfectly Very Happy

Bought it purely because it looks like FFVII, I will try it out once I finish FO3 (can't wait!)
