<h1>About Blades of Exile</h1>
|
||
<h2 id='this'>About this copy</h2>
|
||
<p>This is Blades of Exile, a huge, highly-detailed fantasy role-playing system for the
|
||
PC. This remarkable set of programs contains nearly infinite possibilities for adventure.
|
||
First, the game itself comes with three full, exciting scenarios, filled with excitement,
|
||
puzzles, and role-playing. Then there is the Blades of Exile scenario editor, which you
|
||
can use to make your own role-playing adventures to play yourself or trade with friends.
|
||
Finally, you can obtain scenarios which other people have made with the scenario editor
|
||
and play through them yourself. Even when you've finished the scenarios that come with
|
||
Blades, you've only started to tap the potential for fun this product offers you!</p>
|
||
<p>In 2007, ten years after the original release of BoE, the source code of the game was
|
||
released, and the tedious process of updating the game to modern standards began.</p>
|
||
<p>This copy should, when you first receive it, contain a copy of the game, data
|
||
files, four scenarios, and two utility programs (the character editor and the scenario
|
||
editor).</p>
|
||

|
||
<h2 id='sysreq'>System Requirements</h2>
|
||
<p>Blades of Exile should work on most modern computers, as its requirements were
|
||
originally for old Classic Macs and Windows 3.x. The modern, updated version requires Mac
|
||
OSX 10.7 (it may or may not work on earlier version) or Windows 7 (it may work on Vista
|
||
but probably won't work on XP).</p>
|
||
<p>It will run on Linux under WINE, provided you have at least version 1.7.31. There is
|
||
currently no native Linux version.</p>
