Use the search function and you'll find several topics about this one.
Seems to be a lost game.

One of those days I will dig in my ol'shareware CDs, maybe it's on one of those somewhere ..... (Don't hold your breath, I'm planning to make a DB of all those ol'CDs for the last 10 years .... never seems to find the needed time/energy to do it.)

Or, you could just download it from dosgames.com. It's a funky site, but they've got some really cool administrators there. Benevolent

Hey guys, I've been playing this game since my friend introduced me to it back in 1998 (we were both 6 years old back then), and even after ten years later I never figured how to complete this damn game. I've been returning to this game every once in a while, however, once I installed XP, I couldn't run it anymore, so I forgot about it... Then I found other ways to play it (VirtualPC) and enjoyed this game once again. I had the original CD, actually I still have, but last time I wanted to try out this game I found that the CD is so scratched that it doesn't work anymore Sad

. I kept searching for this game every time I had a taste for it, but without results...until now.

The guy says it's a cracked spanish version with imported english language, someone's gotta try it out, if it really works. One thing is sure, the file seems bigger than the original demo thats downloadable around the internet. I am gonna install Virtual PC tomorrow, to test it myself. Here's the link:

Also, here's a list of passwords:

I included the story, just to show you guys how much does the game mean to me Tbbbbbth!

. And I am pretty sure, that a lot of you guys have been searching for this game as well, without result though, and will appreciate it...well as long as it really works Shit-Eating Grin

LOL, there goes a pic of the original Lurid Land CD
