I bought the magazine that came with this game, in the early 2000s this was very common, nobody knew about this game, I liked the story and the graphics for the time were impressive. I tried so hard to play this game on Windows 11 but I was not successful.nathansoares

I bought this game years ago on CD media that came with a magazine. Although the game, I admit, is not that great, I really liked the character and the story. Besides, I never finished the game.

Esse foi o primeiro jogo de aventura medieval que joguei na vida. Apesar da movimentação travada do personagem, no estilo Tomb Raider, eu lembro de ter me encantado com os cenários, inimigos e tudo mais. Um clássico esquecido que deveria voltar!

I'm here to join the "this came with a magazine" club. I've been wanting to play this game for ages. Ever since Windows Vista this game has become unplayable.

I remember playing the demo of this from a demo disc my mom got with some PC magazine in 97/98. I've remembered it ever since and I would love to play it some day!

Yup, I also bought the magazine (Senha PC) that came with this game as a bonus, in fact I still own that CD-ROM. Back in the late 90s I thought these graphics were stunning, especially when playing the 3Dfx version on my Pentium MMX 233Mhz. Those were the days!

Assistia um tio jogar a uns 26 anos atrás e lembro como se fosse ontem. Lembrava do jogo mas não do nome, até conseguir descobrir com o chat gpt. Gostaria muito de poder jogar.

This deserves a second chance. With better controls and slightly better support. Similarly to Dragonriders or Drakan this has a unique late 90s charm and I consider these a bit of a loose trilogy of one "genre" in my head. A bit obscure and niche, but still memorable.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
