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!

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 !
