<h1>About Blades of Exile</h1>
|
||
<h2>About this copy</h2>
|
||
<p>This is Blades of Exile, a huge, highly-detailed Shareware fantasy role-playing system
|
||
for the Macintosh. 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>
