Lands of Lore: The Throne of Chaos
DOSRole-Playing Game
Lands of Lore: The Throne of Chaos is a first-person fantasy role-playing game developed by Westwood Studios and published by Virgin Games for DOS in 1993. The player must defend the kingdom of Gladstone from the witch Scotia, whose search for an ancient artifact threatens the realm. Exploration, combat, item management, and puzzle solving are presented through a dungeon-crawler perspective, with a choice of four protagonists who have different strengths. The game combines real-time movement with a point-and-click interface and a story-driven structure. It was well received for its accessible design, colorful presentation, memorable voice work, and polished interface, and it became one of Westwood's best-known non-strategy games.

How rankings are calculated
The list is generated from active EmuGamers catalog entries. Votes and play activity determine order; browser compatibility is reported separately and does not turn an untested game into a higher-ranked recommendation.
| Order | Signal | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
