Version: Swords and Sorcery 1.02
Cons: Don't download - a terrible game. First of all when installed, it puts an add into your startup folder. Then when you launch the game - it changes your screen resolution and refresh rate to the lowest (which makes you dizzy and unconfortable and ruins your eyes). After it exits, it doesn't bring the resolution and screen settings back!!! After started it takes hours to startup (not clear why with such graphics), then it loads and eats all your resources, so you cannot run any other program in the background (and I have a good comp.). The graphics... ohh.. the graphics.. I think a blind cat with no hands could create better graphics than this game. It doesn't even come close to the old games that were in the early 90-s - yes they had more simple graphics, but they actually looked pretty good, because most of them were created by real artists, that knew how to make simple things look good. Not like this one - look at the screenshot they show here - looks like somebody with no idea what aesthetics means learned a "Filter" button in Photoshop, then took some pictures from all around and just filtered them to no recognition. Shortly after wandering around black surfaces with white walls and meeting a couple of unreadable graphic elements I turned the game off. I needed to restart my computer after this game cause it was messed up. After uninstalling, I still had to remove some files by myself.

Version: Swords and Sorcery 1.02
"Some games belong in the past"
Pros: The premise and mechanics aren't too bad, but loading takes forever and so does movement. Far too slow for a game whose big advantage is simplicity.
