A link might be all right, but take into account that even if this game is abandonware, it will be erased any link to a site where you can find other games which are not.

Wtf ? I can't play. When I've picked a character, and click "Yes", the game fades out and remains black! Why ?

Are you using DOSBox? That very same thing happened to me when I tried to run the game under Win98, but now under DOSBox it goes as silk.

Japofran: ok ill post the link here.
Ive checked the site a little, there dosent seem to be any illigal games at the site, but i havent been through that much of the site. But if you find something illigal on the site, then you can easily remove the link.

I am bringing you all the link to the 250 mb, CD-version of Lands of Lore. Lands Of lore Gold, with speech (with Star Trek´s patrick stewart as King Richard).
I just want to share this wondeful game with all you people.
To preserve somethin as Lands of Lore is very important to me...... it is like art to me.- Art that needs to be preserved. Preserved by so many people as possible get a hold of it.
Though i would had prefered to have bought it on CD once again, because the original CD i have is broken. And Westwood does not exist anymore, so it dosent get repuplished............ so we all have to share it this way.
Companies like that have to make their produkts available........ or else the pirates would have a field day.
Ok i rambeled a lot.

I present to you the 250 mb, CD-Version of Lands of Lore.

Beowulf, I fully agree with what you say. Lands of Lore is by far the best game I've ever played. I myself still have a working CD, but others, like yourself, are not so lucky, so I thank you for posting this link.

PS. Would you care to have a talk about Lands of Lore some time?

Shure i love Lands Of lore.

I am playing the 3rd one now. Did you like Lands Of Lore 3???
Though the 1st one is the best.
Lands of Lore 1 is my favorite game ever. A shame that EA cancelled the 4th one in production when they bought Westwood studios.
But i am glad that most of the orignal Westwood-geniouses have made their new independent company: Hypoglyph...... i think.
Lets hope they will make new games in the genre like Lands of Lore,

I played both Lands of Lore and Lands of Lore II - Guadians of Destiny. I think both are great games, have amazing music (especially Lands of Lore 2) and epic story, and I love both of them equally.
About Lands of Lore 3, I bought it in the original package too not long ago, and am playing it from to time a small piece. I don't seem to like it as much as the previous two games, eventhough it introduced the interesting system of guilds, magical companion who's always accompanying you and interesting spells (many taken from Lands of Lore II, not only those that were useable by the main character there).
But the story lacks greatness in Lands of Lore 3. I mean, come on, how could one be hero with this thin boyish voice and shy kind of speaking? Luther was much more fitting for a hero in my eyes, more impressive voice and look. I don't know, Lands of Lore 3 is just not Lands of Lore II or Lands of Lore - Throne of Chaos. The music is also not that convincing, and music is 50-60% of the games. So I don't like part 3 as much as the previous two games, I think this is a weak part from the three.
