If you can't find it elsewhere, check Ebay. Usually there's someone who wants to sell a game out there...it may be there.

ROFLOLMAO Black Knight. The Gael Serran is the name of the world in wich the adventure of Wizards and Warriors takes place. I can safely tell you (without spiling too much) is that this is might and magic on steroids (not as in super hard characters but as in challenging monsters). To simplify a point. If you're fighting one bunch of monsters then both you and them are in turn based combat (you can turn this off if you're feeling suicidal or using a one person party), but the others monsters (who you're not fighting) aren't in turn based until they attack you so you get swamped really easily.
The dark lighting in the dungeons can make for really challenging encounters but most people have enough problems hitting bats (no pressing "A" to attack the nearest monster, this is a click to attack and bats small size makes them really annoying). In fact bats just generally hold you up long enough for some really dangerous monsters to turn up. The monsters spawn randomly (rather than being replaced aprox every two years after you first enter a map site) and theirs no travel between lands. It's one big map. It has a few downfalls but buy it now. I don't normally recommend computer games to people but this one is a must! ------------------ Balgin, the Dwarf |

Yes, you can have fifteen characters per saved game. You can only keep six in you're party, the others stay in the pub. You can change characters at the pub (a la MM8 but they stay where you left them instead of teleporting at the speed of light to be near you). You're going to want one of each main starting class (Warrior, Wizard, Rogue and Priest) and I'd make the other two another fighter and another magic user. However Thiefs can't join any guild until about a third of the way through the game but you'll need one to deal with locked chests. And enjoy it

Ha! I got it too BK beat you to it!!!!!!!!!! I'm running the same party that Balgin just suggested lol although thats all I have, none waiting at the Inn. Should I make up a few more different race types than I already have and switch them out often at the Inn to keep them all getting experience or retain a "core group"?Also....spoiler dont look BK>
