Hey gladiators, I hope you're enjoying the series! I'm as always working hard to iron out as many bugs from the past as I can. Here are the latest updates:

SWORDS AND SANDALS 3

• Fixed a bug where gladiators with special characters (,!,$ etc) would corrupt the save game ( You may have to clear save data from the title screen or delete your character if strange things are still happening )
  
• Misc fixes on some tweens

SWORDS AND SANDALS 4

• Unlocked all minigames for people to play straight away (more fun that way!)
  
• Fixed a bug where gladiators with special characters (,!,$ etc) would corrupt the save game ( You may have to clear save data from the title screen or delete your character if strange things are still happening )
  
• Added a 'Refresh Gladiator' button to the Character Sheet page in case your gladiator's weapons / armour looks bloodied and grey
  
• Fixed a bug where some gladiators names were undefined on load
  
• Increased the amount of XP won for finishing a board
  
• Fixed a naming bug in Knight Runner minigame
  
• Fixed lantern light and score in Caverneer minigame

Greetings gladiators! The latest patch has just gone live, with some love shown to S&S Crusader - sieges should be working properly now. S&S 3 was also patched. See the notes below - more patches to come this week!

* SWORDS AND SANDALS CRUSADER

• Fixed a bug where sieges faded to black but wouldn't progress
  
• Fixed a bug where catapults weren't hitting towers properly
  
• Fixed a bug on combat where troops paused before returning to formation
  
• Fixed a bug on Survival mode with Shi-Tzurantula appearing too early
  
• Potential fix for allied computers causing some turns to freeze

* SWORDS AND SANDALS 3

• Fixed a bug where gladiators could fall off the left/right edges of the Bone Pit, Hall of Champions and Ultratus Arenas
  
• Fixed bug where the right side of spell bar could not equip spells
  
• Fixed bug where gladiator names were shown as undefined or incorrect
  
• EXPERIMENTAL - Added a 'Clear Saved Data' to the title screen of S&S 3. Use this button as a last resort if you click on Enter World and cannot load the game, it will delete old and possibly corrupted gladiators. This may or may not work, I'm going to monitor user feedback on this.

Cheers all, may your swords be sharp and sandals sturdy!

I'm aware of more bugs in the games (specifically around Crusader, some of the minigames and the spell bar in S&S 3) ... I'll be patching these over the coming days! Thank you for your patience - needless to say it's been a battle to get these classic games up and running on modern machines and unfortunately I fix one thing, break another - but we will get there!

Hey everyone! I've just patched the following games in the Classic Collection:

Swords and Sandals III

• Fixed a bug where gladiators with dual wield skill couldn't equip weapons in their off hand
  
• Added a short musical interlude on the Arena Champion Pillars Screen

Swords and Sandals IV

• Sped up transitions (fade to white) between menus
  
• Main Menu buttons appear faster
  
• Fixed a bug where music kept playing when mini games ended
  
• Fixed a bug where buttons sometimes appeared blurry

Swords and Sandals Crusader

• Fixed a bug where buttons sometimes appeared blurry

I'll try and keep patching these games as often as I can - just also know that the code for some of the Classic Collection is from over a decade ago (S&S 1 came out in 2006!) so there are just some things I was never able to solve, some bugs beyond my skill to fix. Hopefully nothing game breaking!

Thanks again to everyone who has bought the collection - the response has been awesome!

Hey all, some early buyers of the game have reported there was a missing executable file in the game and nothing could be played. Apologies for the stuff up - there was an error (my fault) in the Steam build upload process. Try downloading the game again and it should work.

Thank you so much for buying S&S Classic, we truly hope you enjoy the games.
