Welcome to a new concept of entertainment. Rol crusaders is the first game
that joins a computer game with a board one. This way allows you to
interact with the game or use both parts separately.

eyes of the protagonist, as he passes through a medieval world.
The objective of the game is to sole the different levels till you reach
the end. In the beginning of every level you'll have a little introductory
help.

Certain computers seems to have incompatibilities with the standards, so it's
possible (but rare) that yours have it.
Sometimes they are troubles with mouse drivers, if your mouse pointer
"jumps" or seems to be deft, then you'd may start to think in changing
the mouse driver.
Another possible trouble may appear with certain soundcards. In some cases
your computer may hung up. Try to configure the game without sound effects,
(select Adlib in the setup program).
