LOL both books I'm reading atm are Fiest Books(A Darkness at Sethanon and Prince of the Blood) for the second time round aswell for both of them. and how could you dismiss Locky as a noble? he is Jimmy's friend!! DUDE! (must get rid of that habit) Locky is soo important. sorta.

This game is ABSOLUTELY GREAT

Robert E. Feist is a great author, and all those who have read his books can verify to this!

However about compatibility, i am running it on WinXP with VDM and it works perfectly and with sound!

So try it this way! k:

Have fun! and prepare :Titan:

This is one of the best RPG's ever made, in my humble opinion,
very complex and deep, lots of spells, different aspects, the
purchasing aspect is fun, as is the energy levels, and the tests,
and the landscape you have to move around in is huge, and
very interesting. It is an interesting variation on the books,
which I have loved and re read many times, as the author
and I am contemporaries and grew up in the same town
(San Diego)....there is the main story line, and then parallel ones
the second game in the series, Betrayal at Antara, was not set
in the Krondor world, but a similar one, but the designer tried
hard to get the same feeling. There are alos neat bardings (songs)
and other parts of the game which are quite unusual. There
are good sites on the net with info on the game and aspects of
the history. Great game to have on the site. k:

pages of the topic posts back................and what
was what in the series that inspired the games, Betrayal at Krondor,
Betrayal at Ankara, and Return to Krondor (the last one was the main
one that Feist actually worked on directly, though he enjoyd working

Loosly the stories are an extended saga with multiple stories that involve
a central group of characters that have spins offs in both time and
sequels, starts with Pug a young apprentice Magician in a Kindgon sort of
a combo of Tolkein's Middle Earth, Lewis" Narnia, and a small Baltic
Kingdom of the 13th Century, he then gets sent across the edge of the story
universe into a parallel world which is a lot like 14th century Japan,
Krondor is one of the principal cities in the stories, and is woven in and
out of the long world line.

The game uses much of the "mythology" of the stories, which Feist is
continuing to develop, great combo of very good literature and computer
(IT) graphics and game tech.

Best RPG I ever played. Graphics are quite out of date however....

The music is great, though there was a CD Version.. not sure where to download that...

Hello Jimmy the Hand, have you seen the Upright Man recently?

Nice to see someone else likes the game and the stories.
I did notice the graphics are sadly out of date, and somewhat
limited, but what a game and concept. k: k: the whole
game with all the related files is simply huge, but worth it.

http://www.jtbates.net/krondor/

was one set of files that I found which may be helpful.

cheers and long live the Kingdom!

Just finished the last of the Recluse saga (L E Modesitt Jr) and real all of Feists books up till and including Krondor:the betrayal... I didn't know there was a game and I've been playing games like this on my C64 and other systems since I was a wee one...

(i had ALL the SSI games) and I can't believe I totally missed this.... so I am glad to get this! got dosbox working, you guys have to type in "c:" at the Z prompt after you get the folder mounted, then hit DIR to check if it worked....

I haven't gotten any Arena to work for poop though, keeps telling me "must install from disk" but this is the game I was really after anyway

thanks guys!!!

as a fan of the book series, finding this game a few years ago was fantastic. i was suprised how rich and engrossing a game this old could be. in fact, i would play this game over it's sequal, return to krondor, any day... hands down the winner.

thanks for spreading the good word of bak

I'm in love with this game, and am soon to start reading Fiest's books because dad has them all!

I finally got it working on a newer computer, and now know how to play it... I always used to get one character killed, Owyn in particular by those stupid pirates. Then they got the plague from some Errr... Nighthawks (?) throwing disease mulch near the place I have to go in chapter 2. Then I forgot where they hid the temple. DAMNIT.

When I FIRST played it, I didn't realise Owyn was a magical dude, so I was making him staff fight for most of the game >_< I always got killed near Rowe's 'barn'.

I think it's a good effort for a 14 year old female thought! :} So geeky. This game is GREAT and I want Antara... even if the graphics suck! This game sorta reminds me of Might and Magic 7...
