Let's Play Lands of Lore 3 02: Installer Backstory

The installer on Lands of Lore games were often impressive. The second one had a wonderous installer which used graphics and showed off things extremely advanced for it's time. The third Lands of Lore game, not a graphical powerhouse, instead gave us a wonderful, albiet brief, history of the lands, from the sinking of the City of the Ancients to the start of the events of the third game.

It was almost as if they knew this game was going to be the last in the series...

Well shit Kikoskia you couldv'e at least read it, so far this playthrough has iched me the right way, but i'd rather be tickled

[Kikoskia]

That may be the case, but it's there as it is.

Lands of Lore was supposed to have EIGHT titles. EA took that away from us, because they killed the series off.

[Crowley9]

EA killed many fine game development houses off, such as Origin and Bullfrog.

@NosferatuArkardo like Might and Magic for example ? I'm sad...

mmh, source ?

"They were discovered and beaten to death with dry fish."

LOL! What?

Oh, I miss this game. Bless you for uploading these, it gives me such wonderful nostalgia.

@Crowley9 Bullfrog is developing with Microsoft as Molyneux' Lionhead. Origin Systems ended it's lifetime when Richard Garriot stopped developing new groundbraking games and the last Wing Commander Game gone shipwrecked because of software-pirates. Arr! IMHO: There's too much hate for EA just because of their lame licence-game series. But if you want to keep that many studios working like EA does, you have to put in licence-based games that are already thought to be mediocre in their conception.

@NosferatuArkardo They even ruined System Shock 3 for us. Now all we have is that crappy game Bioshock taking ALL of LG's credit (Trust me. They were pissed).

just record audacity while this youtube vid plays and extract an mp3.

[tdissevelt]

you can rip out the entire soundtrack by opening one of the big files with an audio editor like Audacity

not the installer music though...

[GloopyG]

I feel the opposite, the epicness is what sets Lands of Lore apart from other RPG adventures, and having a concentrated hub system kind of takes away from that

[CopperLeGre16]

thats ssoooo nice!

[AdamMusk]

can i just say that i was raised by my father on all the lands of lore games and i think that i enjoyed all of them but i most enjoyed Lands of Lore Three and my sister agreed, you can do so much more, i did not like Lands of Lore 2 much as it was do epic, it did not serve the story too well... well done for bring this to us... x
