Albion is a roleplaying game released by Blue Byte Software in 1995.
In the year 2227, the gigantic, interstellar space ship Toronto reaches a distant solar system. The ship's owners, a huge corporation, believe that there are rich deposits of raw materials on this third planet of the system, however the data which describes the planet as a desert, turns out to be forged. Albion is a world full of life, secrets, surprises and magic. When Tom Driscoll, the pilot of the reconnaissance team discovers this, he swears to save Albion from Toronto's tentacles.
Albion is a fantasy adventure. In Albion, you'll discover an intuitive, in-depth playing environment.
In terms of graphics, Albion varies. When exploring unfamiliar areas and large houses, a detailed 2-D display is used, making it easier for the player to orientate himself. When the action gets particularly exciting, the view switches to a 3-D display, so the player experiences places, such as a dungeon, through the eyes of the character.
The resolution of the game is 320x240 with smooth, rich, color animation - which was around average for its time.
