    Shandalar

    I want to download this but can't find it anywhere. Well, I have but none seem to be working. Has anyone downloaded it recently? If so, where did you get it?

    I do think linking Abandonware is allowed here, but I got it from Abandon Games. However, since then that site has gone down. I suggest Home of the Underdogs (the linked game is Shandalar - however, the link is broken; I can send you the packet if you'd want me to).

    Packet? Would that let me download it? I am not to knowledgable on computer stuff. That would be amazing if you could, since I tried both of those and the download didn't work on abandonware.

    Very well then, I do think this is the whole thing with its updates and all:
    Shandalar

    Do tell if it doesn't work - it should, except I'm not sure if that's the whole thing.

    Re: Shandalar

    Okay So I downloaded it and a folder came up with a lot of different crap like _inst32i, setup, etc. Where do I need to go now? Should I list everything in the folder?

    Eldariel uploaded just the v 1.32 patch. :(

    http://www.manalink.de/news/moved-downloadmirror/0/ - Find everything here, uncluding Manalink 2.0, which is a user-created patch that includes some missing cards and cleans up the engine a bit.

    Re: Shandalar

    My challenge to anybody:

    Take the second highest difficulty rating in the world game. Start off with the white deck (because it's absolutely cranfuckingtastically terrible) and get a track record of something like 2xx-0 (doesn't matter what deck you evolve to, you just need to start with one of the terrible first color choices, like white or blue). Then modify your deck at the last minute vs the evil badass at the end, and try to the most possible damage to him before the game crashes on you.

    I was able to banish him for roughly 5000 years, the other time I got his life total to somewhere like -400 the game crashed for lack of memory for another spell.

    Oh, and SS or it didn't happen. If I get lucky, I'll try to take him down again. But something like the 20-30th Timetwister the game just goes stupid.

    Oh I always start with the white deck. The white worldmagic is the only good one and it's completely necessary if you're playing on the highest difficulty level. Playing up there means a lot of walking around, running from monsters and getting the random things that generate cards for you in the world.

    Towards the end, my strategy has been to get as much gold as I can by often selling cards. Walk around and hit the random encounters and hope to get one that sells amulets. Buy as many white amulets as you can for the worldmagic. I think I had 143 last time. Anyway, this lets you basically dick around and do what you want to do without letting cities fall to monsters.

    Does that uploaded patch allow player access to Serendib Efreets and stuff? What missing cards does it fill in?

    I remember facing the final boss last winter break. He starts at some absurd amount of life with an absurdly large library. I'm pretty sure it's not possible to beat him fairly. I think it took me close to an hour of Timetwister + Time Walk + Regrowth + beating face with Juggernauts and Clockwork Beasts to take him down. I don't think he got past his third turn before I infinite-turned him. Great fun was had by all.

    Downloaded it once and it said the zipped file was corrupted so I am trying it again.

    Also, you guys should notify me of Spoilers

    Funny, I remember beating the final boss with essentially the Weissman deck. Lots of countermagic plus Serra Angel, Mahamoti Djinn, and Control Magic beatings.

    Re: Shandalar

    Try clicking on magic.part1 and install the file to whatever directory you want. After that, try clicking on the icons to open the MS DOS window and that will install the rest of the game. That's what I did around 3 hours ago after seeing this thread and right now I'm playing with Shandalar

    Just one problem. I can't seem to buy cards in the villages. I double click on the cards I want to buy and nothing happens. What gives?

    Press "Y" for yes, and "N" for no. The buttons don't show up, but you can still buy stuff.
