Congratulations on your obtaining DRAGON SHARD! We believe you
will find Dragon Shard the best shareware role playing game
you have played. The following is an excerpt from
SHAREWARE MAGAZINE about Dragon Shard.
Excerpt from Shareware Magazine, July-August 1993 issue,
"THE BEST AND ULTIMATE IN SHAREWARE GAMES."
Editorial on DRAGONS SHARD RPG Version 2.1
"...Dragon's Shard appears to offer an endless variety of
weapons, including armor, potions, spells, keys and other
objects....There are many areas to explore with many
pitfalls and suprises along the way. The incredible
amount of detail and effort that went into producing
this game makes it more complex and entertaining than
any other graphical role playing game..."
