Quest for Lands of Lore III

Ishmael · Mon 04/02/2008 23:51:23

To put it simple, I've exhausted all the means I have within my reach to find this game. I'm looking for Westwood Studios' Lands of Lore III from 1999. I've seen the game listed as abandonware, yet I haven't found it on any abandonware sites I know of. I've googled and tried everything I can think of, including DC++, emule, google, torrent sites, and some google.

So, can anyone help me out? I'd like to find the game, but it seems to have vanished off the internet, so I was wondering if anyone here knew how to acquire a copy?

That's the one with the FMV, right? Do you remember the subtitle for it?

EDIT: Nevermind. I decided to stop being lazy and look. The one I have is 2, I supposed.
Guardians of Destiny. I wasn't a fan. Meh.

Huh? If eMule won't find something, it doesn't exist.

This won't go for downloading of course.
eMule is only a step away from awfulness of torrent technology.

I have Guardians of Destiny myself too. And I couldn't find it on emule on the servers I looked on, and by experience I know downloading anything big over emule is a game of luck.

Thank you anyway, I found it already. I knew I can count on this community

Just remember guys that CJ doesn't want this sort of illegal software promotion on the site, so posting emule stuff probably isn't a great idea!

InCreator · Fri 08/02/2008 03:36:45

Okay. But this is far from promotion.

I simply doubted that LoL3 (lol!) couldn't be found on P2P networks.
There's no links to anything, no server named, nothing. Not even MD5 hash name!

But still, talking about how we can obtain such stuff is not a good idea.

True.
Sorry.

The ideal outcome I had it mind was someone telling me "Hey, I have a copy laying around. You'rs for the postage!"

My brother has an original boxed copy of it. I'm not surprised people haven't torrented it, it is the RPG equivalent of syphilis. It's bad enough that it was made during that wacky period in 1998 where all 3D PC games were mandated to look hideous (i.e. software rendering in spades), but the voice acting is corny and shameful (despite Westwood nailing it a year later with Red Alert 2), the music becomes grating and repetitive after four minutes, and the gameplay is best left described as arse-clenchingly bad.

Of course, glowing reviews like that will only prolong your interest in finding it. InCreator is right, eMule does have a copy of every single game, video and MP3 ever released. The big caveat is waiting 7 weeks for the bloody thing to download...
