What a way to finish off the day as we've just been pinged through Facebook, of the release of ' Lawless Legends ' for the Apple II. This is a game that has been in development for sometime and takes the medieval dungeon crawler and mashes it up with the wild wild west! Traverse the map above and look for new locations, walk through places in a first person viewpoint just like the games of old, visit bars and get drunk with the locals, battle menacing beasts across a hot desert and involve yourself in a fantastic story
I'm going through the site but where the heck is the game download? Or do they really expect you to compile it yourself?
Loading the game via emulator:
WINDOWS - Download AppleWin: AppleWin is usually a IIe emulator, but it can run IIGS hard drive images. Push F8 for settings. In the "Disk" tab, (Alt-E) enable hard disk controller in slot 7. Then Select HDD 1 as the 800k (2MG) version. The latest version of AppleWin NTSC is available at http://wsxyz.net/applewin.html Mac - TBA
In fact Lawless Legends, the wild west game, has not been released yet. They released Ancient Legends, a short medieval fantasy game. It's fun though.

Raised on ancient legends, you have often dreamed of exploring what lies beyond the island. You surmise that dark times must have befallen the mainland, as dark creatures now sully the sanctuary of your island home as well.
Now you are the last of your line and have decided to venture to the mainland and seek your fortune! You pack your things, take your family’s heirloom amulet for luck and enter the forest for adventure…

I asked them about that regarding the final engine and Lawless Legends.I don't like that style of movement though. Why is it not tile based?
We are already implementing a "Classic mode" of travel in 3d worlds that will do just that.
Very glad they're not dead.We are making great progress, news to come!
BIG UPDATE! We now have new inventory & skill screens as well as leveling up works!
The wild west is not what it used to be, or is it? Who would like to find out? PM us as we are in need of a new Play Tester! Let us know if you have a real Apple II, how much time you have a week to test, and what classic RPG's you have played before (and if you beat any of them too.)
We have working icons for the compass, lamp, and clock! plus day and night color cycles. Play testers continue to go through the game as well. We hope to release the game for Apple II, windows, and mac by the fall! Trailer coming this spring!
