Silver

1999 · Dreamcast

Silver is a 1999 video game developed and published by Infogrames for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS, and ported by Spiral House to the Dreamcast in 2000. The game is a fantasy-themed action-roleplaying game where players lead the protagonist David in a small party of three to defeat the tyrannical sorcerer Silver, who has kidnapped his wife Jennifer. The game features three-dimensional graphics and is presented in a top-down perspective, with prerendered backgrounds. The developers aimed to create an engaging combat system, in which players command attacks using the direction of the computer mouse or analog stick, and focused on real-time combat in contrast to the turn-based design of console role-playing games of the time. Prior to release, the game received pre-release anticipation that the title could become a competitor with Japanese role-playing games, including the Final Fantasy series, and fill a gap in the catalog of role-playing games available on the Dreamcast.
