About

Clash Of The Dark is a 1994 two-player fighting game for the Classic Mac, written by John Dalgliesh and published through Slipped Disk Software. Two robed magicians square off in a best-of-three duel, mixing footwork, jumps, and martial-arts strikes with a hidden magical attack reserved for those who know the secret key combination.The fightEach match is a best-of-three bout. Both fighters can walk and jump in either direction, throw punches and kicks, and chain a flying jump-kick when the timing is right. Reading your opponent and controlling spacing matters more than button mashing.Hidden magicBoth characters double as master magicians, and each has a signature magic move bound to a secret key combination. Players are expected to discover or trade these inputs, giving the game a small fighting-game-style metagame on top of its basic moveset.Local-only duelsThere is no AI opponent or single-player campaign here. Clash Of The Dark is built for two humans sharing a Mac keyboard, in the spirit of mid-1990s shareware versus games.Era and presentationThe game leans on side-scrolling sprite combat with the punchy palette typical of System 7-era shareware. It runs comfortably on 68K Macs of the period.
