Sony’s and Sega’s CD-ROM powerhouses, the Saturn and the Playstation, fought it out while id’s Quake and 3D Realms’ Duke Nukem continued to drive companies like Matrox, Diamond, Intergraph, and Hercules into boasting bigger and better 3D accelerators. Intel’s new chip, the Pentium, had also introduced the world to MMX technology. CD-ROM drives continued to fall in price and improve performance with packages boasting blistering 16x speeds making the rounds in systems like those from Gateway computers. A lot of things have also happened since then in gaming from consoles to PCs as the 3D revolution sparked by examples such as id Software’s groundbreaking work with Wolfenstein 3D and Doom continued to steamroll through every genre. The sequel to Westwood’s Lands of Lore: The Throne of Chaos wouldn’t come out until four years later in 1997. Lands of Lore 2 was an unexpected surprise four years after the first game. The citadel of the magic-happy Ruloi glares at players from this two page spread showing off a host of screenshots and impressive visuals.
