Hey everyone, I've just patched S&S 3 and 4 with the following fixes:

Swords and Sandals III:
* Fixed a bug where weapons could not be equipped
* Changed things so you must unequip your weapon before equipping another
* Fixed invisible weapons

Swords and Sandals IV:
* Fixed invisible equipment bug
* Fixed a bug where weapons could not be equipped
* Changed things so you must unequip your weapon before equipping another
* Fixed invisible weapons
* Removed lag on S&S IV character load screens

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!

Cheers, Oliver Joyce

By far one of the S&S questions I am asked most is "When are you going to do a remake of Swords and Sandals III?" (The other question I always get asked is "What's up with the S&S 2 comma glitch, was that on purpose?" - nope, that was just the work of shoddy programming!) I'm thrilled to at last be able to announce a Swords and Sandals III remaster is in the works…Major update24 Jul 2024Fan Mods arrive in the Classic Collection!Greetings gladiators, and welcome to version 1.5 of the Swords and Sandals Classic Collection !
