The original Lords of Midnight was released in 1984 for the Sinclair ZX Spectrum, written by Mike Singleton. It is a highly atmospheric turn-based fantasy wargame, with an unusual first-person perspective.

The game owes a heavy debt to The Lord of the Rings, and also features a quest mode. One of its most interesting features is the recruitment of other playable Lords.

The original game still has many fans to this day.

This PalmOS version is intended to be a straight port, with minimal changes to support stylus control. In its current state it is playable, but has a few bugs and missing features. It has been in development a long time, and is pretty messy, so it might never get completely finished.
