Yes! It's out and I've got it! It's wonderfull!!!!!! It makes IV look like an Atari 2600!!!! (And you know how good IV was) It takes place on the same contenant(sp) with the same topography. there are new roads and bridges, but the rest is the same (more or less). All the towns are bigger! I have the Apple // version and it comes on the front and back of FOUR disks. The object is to resue Lord British. The leader of Britania now is called Blackthorn (He's evil) and a lot of times gaurds will demand tribute when you enter a town. Buy it! Pirateing won't work with this game. You need the spell list (you won't guess it like in IV) you need the command list... you need the map (Well sort of) you definatly need the language section (Most of the signs aren't in english).
