Review by Kim Robinson on 7th March 2008
It's a big, old, confusing hulk of a level but Dharga has a place in my heart and therefore in the archive. It had some nice features for its time (altered keypads for example), always plenty of action and lots of colour thrown about the place. Level design can be improved upon - some of the jumping puzzles can get downright tedious, but it's still a great play.

====================================================================== Title : Dharga - v1.2 (released Dec 16 1997) Author : Tamas Kovacs E-mail : kotomi[at]westel900.net Web Page : My friend has a homepage for Dharga at: http://www.geocities.com/~elek/duke.html Description : Duke's girlfriend has been captured! A wicked madman who hates Duke hid her in a place designed especially to give Duke a really hard time. He believes there will be no way out for Duke; the tricks and traps he set will be too difficult for our hero and he will not be able to rescue her. Do you think he will ever see her wink at him?

Difficulty Settings : Not implemented * Construction * Base : New level from scratch Editor(s) used : Build Known Bugs : - This map is _slow_. So don't run it under Windows, for example, and when running it under DOS use smartdrive. You'll need a fast machine, at least a Pentium-100 with 16 MB RAM. In any case, use a lower resolution and a smaller game window. - In the room where there are a lot of shrinkers, the game might stall if you explode the rotating columns that reflect the shrinker shots. - In some very rare cases, (usually after an explosion) it might happen that you cannot any longer pick up objects. In this case, you'll have to re-load the last saved game. Anyway, save _very_ often. Sorry, I have found no way of correcting these mistakes. They shouldn't really interfere with game play, though. There have been people who have completed the map. This is the latest (probably the last) version of Dharga (released Dec 16 1997). A few minor things have been changed to speed up gameplay. Time of build : 6 months ... believe it or not. You know, I have a job. Other maps : Dharga-X, the dukematch version. Available at the same site, see below. * Where to get this MAP file * I thought you already had it ... Well, if you don't, there's a whole page dedicated to it at: http://www.geocities.com/~elek/duke.html. ===========================================================================
