Greetings,

Does anyone this little age-old strategy game?

Here is the shareware version and screenshots of the game:

Would be cool if someone had the full version of the game: ebay doesn't seem helpful. :-(

What about hose two:
acid
museum

Yep, the one I linked to was the shareware version, and so are the ones you linked to. :-(

I never played the full version myself: but here are the feature to look out for:

* the most difficult skill option, in which the opposing knights
play with great skill.
* hold animated joust tournaments to win gold, honor, and even
the territories of opposing knights.
* summon the magic mantra of Merlin at a moment's notice to wreak
havoc on your enemies.
* build castles on any territory, not just your home territory
* play against 1, 2, 3 or all 4 computer players.
* collect emergency taxes (but don't collect too much, or the
peasants will revolt.
* play any of the five knights as your hero, not just Lancelot.

I guess not many people purchased what the authors calls the "Deluxe version", because it didn't promise any impressive improvement, and the author asked for $30 (not including shipping: $4 for the US), which even today is an hefty sum for a small game.

The KORT.DOC file lists a lot of snail addresses (from the US, Japan and a few European countries): it would be cool to send a few letters, to see if we get any replies. ahah

By the way, do notice that the DOS Museum also catalogues the game as "Shareware".

Awesome! I used to play the shareware version quite a bit as a kid, so I am very curious to give the Deluxe version a try! ;-)

Where can I find the ftp?

[marko river]

Well, seeing that you also uploaded Marios Time Machine on public hosting site tells me that you don't have FTP access. However, even with FTP access you are not allowed to download stuff, I think. So you first have to wait for confirmation that this game is abw and then you would have to be willing to review it. Although you can always give a false promise, I guess...

As far as I know, I approved it here. So if you want to review it, just say so, and we'll give you the archive. Although we'll give you the ISO, but we should somehow make a preinstalled version of the game from it.

Hi marko,

I didn't know the ftp you mentioned was private. I will wait patiently then. ;-)

With regard to reviewing the game, I did do a review for a game I contributed to Abandonia Reloaded: http://www.reloaded.org/download/Nesquik-Quicky/473/ English is not my native language, but if you liked that review, I can cook up something for this game.
