D&D Shadow Over Mystara Save States

Intro

Did your computer crash while voyaging across the fields of Mystara? Do you want to skip certain parts of the game or capture specific sprites? Whatever the case may be, my Kawaks save states are here to save the day.

These save states were captured by the arcade emulator known as “Kawaks”. Hence, they can only be used with Kawaks. Kawaks can be downloaded from my emulators page. Sorry, I know Kawaks is an abandoned emulator and not used anymore now in the 2020s. Kawaks was a top emulator back in the day. In the near future, I'll try to provide RetroArch save states.

It's easy to use these saves. Simply download the zip file, extract the save into Kawaks's “saves” folder, load the game, then go to “load state” (or press F7). They were captured from “Dungeons & Dragons: Tower of Doom (US 940125)” so they will only work with that version of the game.
