Thanks for the reminder of this game guys. I sold my copy after I had finally finished it a 2nd time (and died enough times to get that sweet sword).
I regret a lot of the selling back of games I did back then, but I was a kid in HS and unable to buy all the great games coming out without doing that. By the time I wanted to buy it back because I'd missed it, it was gone

. I bought it again last year, but without the kick ass manual - but this reminds me that I have it...somewhere in a gamestop sleeve. Probably mixed in with some of my DC games.
But anyway, I loved Alundra, it really was an awesome game that took up a lot of my time back in the day. I also liked it more than Zelda, it's story line & world was a lot more original in execution.
