Japofran: ok ill post the link here.
Ive checked the site a little, there dosent seem to be any illigal games at the site, but i havent been through that much of the site. But if you find something illigal on the site, then you can easily remove the link.

I am bringing you all the link to the 250 mb, CD-version of Lands of Lore. Lands Of lore Gold, with speech (with Star Trek´s patrick stewart as King Richard).
I just want to share this wondeful game with all you people.
To preserve somethin as Lands of Lore is very important to me...... it is like art to me.- Art that needs to be preserved. Preserved by so many people as possible get a hold of it.
Though i would had prefered to have bought it on CD once again, because the original CD i have is broken. And Westwood does not exist anymore, so it dosent get repuplished............ so we all have to share it this way.
Companies like that have to make their produkts available........ or else the pirates would have a field day.
Ok i rambeled a lot.

I present to you the 250 mb, CD-Version of Lands of Lore.

Beowulf, I fully agree with what you say. Lands of Lore is by far the best game I've ever played. I myself still have a working CD, but others, like yourself, are not so lucky, so I thank you for posting this link.

PS. Would you care to have a talk about Lands of Lore some time?

Shure i love Lands Of lore.

I am playing the 3rd one now. Did you like Lands Of Lore 3???
Though the 1st one is the best.
Lands of Lore 1 is my favorite game ever. A shame that EA cancelled the 4th one in production when they bought Westwood studios.
But i am glad that most of the orignal Westwood-geniouses have made their new independent company: Hypoglyph...... i think.
Lets hope they will make new games in the genre like Lands of Lore,

I played both Lands of Lore and Lands of Lore II - Guadians of Destiny. I think both are great games, have amazing music (especially Lands of Lore 2) and epic story, and I love both of them equally.
About Lands of Lore 3, I bought it in the original package too not long ago, and am playing it from to time a small piece. I don't seem to like it as much as the previous two games, eventhough it introduced the interesting system of guilds, magical companion who's always accompanying you and interesting spells (many taken from Lands of Lore II, not only those that were useable by the main character there).
But the story lacks greatness in Lands of Lore 3. I mean, come on, how could one be hero with this thin boyish voice and shy kind of speaking? Luther was much more fitting for a hero in my eyes, more impressive voice and look. I don't know, Lands of Lore 3 is just not Lands of Lore II or Lands of Lore - Throne of Chaos. The music is also not that convincing, and music is 50-60% of the games. So I don't like part 3 as much as the previous two games, I think this is a weak part from the three.

Many people agree with you, Scatty. And you haven't even mentioned (that's no offence in any way) the numberous bugs that remain in the game, even a bug that prevents you from making it to the third rank in the Magician's Guild. And there is the 'Heal fills up hunger bar'-bug, which makes the hunger system redundant.

Personally, I think the third part has better music than the second (Gladstone Keep, the Warrior's Guild, the Draracle's Caves, the Dragon City and the Underworld Hotel theme are all excellent songs. What I do find annoying about both the second and third part, is that the music gets interupted when you get in a fight.

I think the Guild system is nice, but the Journal system sucks, because there's nothing to find out for yourself left. Also, there's too powerful equipment available from too early on. Come on, how can you give Thohan's Great Sword right after completing the first portal world? The Fire Shield (not sure if that is it's correct name) can be found right from the start. Getting powerful armor is also easy, especially when Belial's equipment becomes for sale, right when you get Thohan's blade. This makes the game too easy and uninteresting, since there's almost no better equipment to find.

EDIT: I've forgotten to mention the unbalanced battle system: melee attacks are way better than ranged and magical attacks.

All in all, I think the third part is very fun. It just doesn't compare to it's two preceders. But I can't help the feeling that this game is rushed.

PS. Have you guys been able to get Noble Valkyrie Crossbow on a legal way? I haven't, but I got it through a bug. In the warrior's Guild, go to Chesara's room while it's still closed. Now, click as fast (and I mean FAST) on the door as you can, while walking in the door. This way, you open up the door bit by bit, while preventing it from closing. Be sure not to enter the room and let the door close, or you'll be stuck forever. When you talk to Chesara, she'll thank you for all you've done (that would be nothing :P ) and give you the crossbow.

Wtf ? I can't play. When I've picked a character, and click "Yes", the game fades out and remains black! Why ? [/b]
Are you using DOSBox? That very same thing happened to me when I tried to run the game under Win98, but now under DOSBox it goes as silk.

Yeah, now it works when I run the game with DOSbox, thanks!

I like many things in lands of lore 3: It is mostly the small things. That the journal really is useful to know something about items.
In lands of lore 1 we all hated Lord Geron; in this game he is erally revealed as being a traioter.... of sorts: have you ever gone into his office, while Geron was not there?? You should, then try and duck and use the button under his desk, and then pull the chair back..... a secret room is revealed: cool. and if you push the skulls, you will come further down. I thought that Lands 1 and 2 was more of a liniar stories: while it was a little more free in this game: you could really steal and kill many things.... also that there was so many treasure chest in lower gladstone: you just had to jump around.
Also it was cool that the draracle gaves from lands 1, was recreated in LOL 3, also the inner castle.

Yes also as mentioned there was some bugs in the game, the one with that it was imposible to get to the 3rd level in the magician guild: i found out that you should not free the amazon or the other prison, when you are at first in the tuloi home world.


Something i really like in lands 3, is that i always discover new things everytime i play it; that you can climb a pipe on the warrior guild, smash a window, and get the fire-shield. That you can get a piggy-bank in the shattered desert with 100.000 crowns.... i think it is the first whine you can climp... up in a pedistall.... also that the shatered desert is in fact from another Westwood game: Command and Conquer. and that it is a Nod-base you are entering: also in that base i found the COOLEST misslile-weapon: when i pushed a button for a weapon,,,, the mechanism keept on going with empty holsters, until it revelaed the most awesome missile-weapon: The Boom-stick (Ash in "Army of Darkness" ...... anyone), which is a Shotgun.

I just love the details of Lands 3.


My top 3 of lands of lore is:

Lands of Lore 1
Lands of Lore 3
Lands Of lore 2

HELP

I am at the end of the game and suddenly the walkthrough states that I should put the four pyramid keys at the corners. But I only have three. So I look and there is only mention of three keys. Can someone help me?
http://www.geocities.com/TimesSquare...82/walk-lb.htm

I have Dawns key, Paulsons key and Gerons key. Where do I find the last key? Which map and where on the map?

You should look in the Dungeons for Nathaniel's Key. I believe it was in the north behind a secret wall.
