Sup SK.netters,
Took a quick browse and found this.

Apparently Silicon Knight's old-school title fantasy empires, is now considered Abandonware.

So, while I haven't tried to download this myself yet, perhaps one of you out there, would like to give it a shot, before I can.

Download, and review here
http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/825/Fantasy+Empires.html

Also, at the same link can be found a review of the title, and it sounds pretty cool. Looks like SK were into making hybrids long before Too Human came around. Here is a brief snippet of what was said in the review.


"Fantasy Empire is a mix between RPG, turnbased strategy, and small-scale tactical battles where you directly control your warriors/heroes the RTS-way (this can be avoided by seleting "Simulate battles).

The game takes place in the fantasy land of Mystara, where "the dungeon master" (hey - I've heard that one before) has given you a challange (defeat your opponents as usual). Apart from that, the storyline doesn't matter - the "campaign" consists of different maps where you basicly do the same - command & conquer."

I'll try to download it tonight. I'm curious as to whether it will actually work on XP.
