howdy guize, just wanna throw this out there for you who got this game from either me or other places, found this tidbit some weeks ago but promptly forgot until today, when i restarted Yendor II.

Thanks Luzur. This is one of the games I don't know much about and would love to find a boxed copy of.

The registered versions of 2 and 3 weren't hard to get your hands upon even 15 years ago. I figure stuff like HOTU or abandonia or whatever is ought to have them available without any hex editing.

Now, the complete part 1, that must be one of the most coveted software collector's items. Second only to that "Loremaster" game nobody ever seen.

So, my illustrated manual how to hex edit City Key (afair) to your savegame was useless?

huh? no i loaded up my old savefile and just continued.

you gave me a hex edit?

Tell me more about this game. I can't find any information on it at all. Is it a CRPG?

Yeah, the Yendoran Tales were a shareware series of crpgs from the mid-late 90's. They were the second shareware crpg to cut the middlemen (publishers and retailers) and sell directly from the internet, the first being Vogel/Spiderweb software.

If I recall correctly, Yendoran I + II was 3rd person, but III was first person. I remember I always wanted to play them, but unfortunately did not have a credit card, and Napster and what later became torrents were yet to be invented. Also, ppl were good then and did not put up pirated games for download...

ive only heard faint rumors about it, it was supposed to be a good Dungeon Master kind of game.

my guess is videogame myth.

I know the most important thing is to filter and be absolutely sure a game is a crpg and no some anime aberration , but yes yendoraian tales is one of the well known shareware crpg of the 90's, yendorian tales 1 was turn based and top down more like ultima , yendorian 2 is closer to might and magic than dungeon master . Now i s it worth playing? Like most games of that era for nostalgia value as its not bringing anything new to the table nor especially shines in any area , still was ok to play. A simple google search gives you any info you need to know about it, and download links. Theres probably better things to play before andthose sharewares are for the desesperate who really played everything else .

Exciting isnt it ?

Learn to read you faggot. And the reason I'm calling you a faggot is because of that lame little dig at the start of your irrelevant post.

I remember references to Loremaster, but now LOTRO and WoW have inundtated google results

Was 'Loremaster' the full name though?

I might have played this briefly. Were there a bunch of spiders in the first town? Not sure if 2 or 3...

Ok I guess it was the other way round. Book I + II blobbers, Book III 3rd person.

Anyhow, it might have done really well had it come before Xeen, or right after.

Neither. Book I 3rd person, Book II and III (or rather, "Book II chapter 2", hah) blobbers.

Supposedly. The largest source of information is our very own Codex: http://www.rpgcodex.net/forums/inde...aster-by-creative-software-corporation.19731/

The only place this game is ever mentioned is a list of games belonging to "Classic Fond" collection - a series of 60+ pirate CD-ROMs filled with older games and cdrips, issued in russistan circa 95-98. Such as this: http://lib.web-malina.com/getbook.php?bid=312&page=43

Its entry is formatted as traditional CF entry, bearing the following info:

Loremaster I: Send for the Loremaster Creative Software A mage fights monsters. Role-playing V 1991 20165 PC AD SB RL K M install ver

Thing is, actual Classic Fond disks never featured that game. Either it was on some very rare third party disk branded as CF (pirates got pirated out of their IPs all the time), or it's some elaborate joke. Also, 20mb in 1991? Sounds doubtful.

Yes, right here:

I was maybe too cryptic, though.

sorry bro but i forgot, although it explains where i got those magic wands from.

Oh, I thought two years ago you just restarted game. I'm glad what it was helpful.
