I'm playing the 8 KB version of Dark Mage here, which allows some room for descriptive text, though the map is necessarily small and the puzzles simple an even tighter 4K version also exists. The game's most impressive feature, given the 2600's limited graphics hardware, is its ability to render text onscreen without relying on flicker or interlacing tricks - the uppercase-only text here is much clearer than the 2600's only contemporary text-based example, the Sears-exclusive Stellar Track adapted from the old mainframe Star Trek games. LOOK also switches control modes to make verbs available by moving the joystick left and right - TAKE, GIVE, USE, TALK, and INVENTORY. Fixed XP Boosters and Dark Sector bonus modifiers affecting Syndicate Weapon bonuses (Entropy, Sequence, Blight, Purity, Truth, Justice).Without a keyboard to work with, player interaction is limited to a few choices - in the standard mode, the joystick is used to access the four cardinal directions for navigation, with LOOK occupying the center position and the 2600 controller's single button used to commit the selection.Such conflicts have been put under a permanent Armistice, and no one can claim a Dark Sector anymore. Prior to Update 16.0 (), Dark Sectors hosted Solar Rail Conflicts, in which different Clans and Alliances fought against each other in PvP matches over the control of these nodes, in order to tax every player who played them.When this happened, the area was locked into Tower Sabotage mode (against Orokin defenders, not PvP) – the Clans (and all players they convinced to help) chose a side and tried to destroy the opposing Tower (like a player-driven invasion). Competing clans could build their own tower (maybe in secret) to challenge the area.All missions run there had taxes applied to them – resources and credits – this rate was set by the Clan who built the Tower.In essence, they would have built a solar toll-highway. When it was built and deployed all Tenno could run missions there. Prior to the removal of Solar Rail Conflicts, clans (or alliances) could collaborate on building a Tower to connect it to the Solar Rail network.New locations are discovered in the Solar Map, with rarer resources, harder bosses, better loot. Before being released these were the descriptions supplied to hype up dark sectors:.
