Oh my, that brings back memories. You are way too young to have ever played that game, Tracy. I on the other hand...

That was an excellent game. Very elegant in its simplicity, and the combat sequences were awesome even by today's standards. The DOS version was the best. The Windows 95 version won't play on Windows XP or Vista, but there are some rather clever folx who have come up with a procedure to make the DOS version work in XP. Hope to try it during the Christmas Holidays, because I really miss that game. Then again, I do have an old computer that ran Windows 98 gathering dust in my garage. Hmmm.  :)

I'm 44.  EEEKKK!  God, that game was so great.  "West of House".  What ever happened to that game?  It would be nice if they had an updated version of it.  I played it in high school.
