OK, I'll admit it I don't know how to properly use search engines. I just type in want I want to see and get tons of results and have no idea of how to narrow the search. There I said it.

But, to the point, is there any site that has this game available for digital download? I've read that it was not released for the USA and there are boxed versions from Europe with English audio. My point is that, if possible, I would like to buy this game.

The sites I found seemed to want to have me join something or download a downloader or some other strange things just to try to get the game and I declined all those chances to download the game.

Hi oldman

I found a page with a couple of download offers but I don't know which, if any, might be legal ....

Anyway it's Edited out by BET.

I do have a boxed copy of the game myself - but it's in Italian - so you probably wouldn't want that !!

Cheers.

Mad

I haven't seen any legal download sites oldman, so maybe someone who has successfully downloaded will be along.

Mad, other than the demo ones those links are illegal, so I edited out the search.

Ana

I did not find a legal one either.

Sorry my search was futile, oldman

And thanks for the editing and confirmations, ladies !!

oldman,

Send tol an email. You can look him up in the members list. Tale of a Hero is his game. He should be able to tell you where to buy it. I got mine from an overseas site and managed to make it through the Italian with Carla's help.

Tol can also tell you where to get the patch that adds English text to the game, although it's in one of the TOH threads...a rather long one.

I will say this, the boxed copy took donkey's years to arrive. <g> But tol may know where you can download it.

Just to be a little clearer, I downloaded it and got a boxed copy as a backup.

I got my copy from eptisoft.com. http://www.eptisoft.com/francais/telechargement-achat/tale-of-a-hero,a10982ENY,c.html

I had to create an account, but it was worth it. I enjoyed the game immensely. The audio was in English and the subtitles were in French. There were a few letters to read that were in French, but that was no problem for me because I studied French in high school and community college.

This is dredging up a memory, but I seem to recall that the game doesn't run well in Win 7, though it's fine if you're still using Win XP.

Ran just fine for me in Win 7, Becky.

Gil.

thank you all for your help. I will definitely check out the info in this thread. It's a shame that this game didn't get wider distribution because It appears to be an awesome game.

Traveler -- that's good to know.

Oldman you were right to avoid those sites.

Whenever you visit a site and it tries to get you to download or accept their program, whatever it may be, you must be very careful. You just have to watch and read the screens very carefully or else you may get tricked in accepting a Tool Bar or program that will replace your home page with theirs and even invite Spyware on your PC.

I'd follow travelers advise !! Thanks traveler ! - now I got to get a copy too !

You'll enjoy it, sureshot. Find that thread and you'll find the site (Italian) where I downloaded mine if you do better with that than with French. The voiceover is in English but unless you apply the patch tol supplied (link in that thread), the text is in whatever you can't read. I didn't really mind it. Learned a few words.

Aha! Here's the Tale of a Hero thread Have fun, it's a lo-ong one!

Gil.

Thank you Gil for the info and the thread link !!

I will certainly read that thread and get this game !

Sal

I just emailed tol about downloading the game.
I hope to hear from him soon. I'll let you know what he says.
