A considerable while ago - in DOS 6.0 - I tried extracting data from those three games and converting it to some usable format - music, graphics and, in case of "Shadow", even text, as it's encrypted. I did not. I wonder if since then any information about the formats that they used leaked from Microprose, SSI and Infogrames, or the games' developers...?
The games:
Veil of Darkness:

The Summoning, which seems to use the same engine:

The Legacy:

Three classic titles... Veil of Darkness, The Legacy, SotC.

Unfortunately, it isn't very common for game developers to release this type of information - even if the game it really old . Thats why we do what we do.
We will look into these games soon for you, and see if we can work out anything. I can't say too much at the moment, but not many dos-based games are very readable so there is a chance we can't do anything, but we'll see.
Here's hoping.
