Why Pagan? Why this game? I got interested in this game in 1995, even though it is rather simple by today's standards. The magic was what really captured me. Above all, the implicit knowledge that magic is exactly the same as... hard work. I include below links to online maps that I have made myself, through screen capturing using the pentagram engine. Also, animated gifs of the game, made by me with online resources.

Por quê Pagan? Por quê este jogo? Me interessei por este jogo em 1995, apesar de ele ser um jogo simples pelos padrões atuais. A magia foi o que realmente me cativou neste jogo. Acima de tudo, o fato implícito de que a magia é exatamente a mesma coisa que... trabalho duro. Incluo abaixo links para mapas online que eu mesmo fiz, através de captura de tela usando o recurso (engine) pentagram. Também, gifs animados do jogo, feitos por mim com recursos online.


Original Manual from the game, with not-easy-to-find stories about Pagan (33 mbytes pdf): This Link.

A basic Wallpaper. This Link.

Maps:
all maps below (except the "all Tenebrae" ones, which appear by number 1, number 1.2, etc) are actual print-screen images. Therefore they show the places where they actually are in regards to their position in "the computer memory." Also, they include areas of "garbage" left by the programers, off-limits to ordinary game play.

Now all maps have been made in High Resolution. The best and most thorough undertaking of this sort since Pentology (1994).

1- All Tenebrae. A composite image of ten different maps of the game, slightly adjusted so that they would fit together. In the actual game, only each one of these maps would be loaded at a time, and you would only be able to see a very small part of this one single map. This Link.

    1.2- All Tenebrae, including one more map: The Plateau. This Link.
    1.3- All Tenebrae, two more maps included: The Caves in the Upper Catacombs and Stone Cove. This Link.
        It does not seem much feasible to include more maps into this composite in a minimally realistic way.
