An online fantasy game for the old grognards

It will be interesting to see who remembers this one.  It plays just like the original board game, except no multi-player version.

Enjoy, but give some feedback if you do.  I'd like to see who remembers it.

Wow, great! I played until my wife came running in wondering if I was slaughtering pigs... lol She is just the two or so years too young to remember this game... apart from the fact that she thinks fantasy is only for nerds, losers and sociopaths.  :D

Her being younger than me or us being sociopaths? I'm fine with both...  :D

I've always wanted to have the game in the late 70s but my parents wouldn't buy it as it was rather expensive. The first time I actually got to play it was in 1991 at a friend's place. Wonderful thing.

And the nerds? Well, the old cliché that only overweight kids with spots and no real life whatsoever have anything to do with fantasy is still around. Wonder if she knows that she is married to such an individual...  ;)

I still have my copy too, I think there was an issue over copyright and the game was only available for a short time; it goes for ridiculous amounts on ebay!
