Midkemia - a realm of enchantment and ancient magic where elves, dwarves and man once battled on unimaginable evil across rifts in time and space. The legends tell of a boy named Pug who would become Master Magician. His friend, Tomas, who would wield the unearthly armor of the Valheru and command the armies of Elvandar. The land called Kelewan, the Dark Order of the Serpent Priests and the final titanic battle at Sethanon. It was an epic tale of villains and heroes, magic and men. Sierra has joined with Raymond E. Feist, creator of the best-selling Riftwar Saga, to create a revolutionary fantasy role-playing experience and an all-new tale in the Riftwar legacy - Betrayal at Krondor.

The RiftWar is done. But a fearsome army of trolls and renegade humans, emboldened by the drug of destruction, has risen in strength from the ashes of defeat. There is one, however, who defies the call to battle... New York Times bestselling fantasist Raymond E. Feist returns to a beleaguered realm of wonders and magic-where war is an enduring legacy; where blood swells the rivers and nourishes the land. Attend to this hitherto untold chapter in the violent history of Midkemia -- a towering saga of great conflicts, brave acts and insidious intrigues. It is the story of a traitor who rejects the brutality of his warlike kind and casts his lot with the human targets of their fierce aggression. It tells of mysterious deaths and sinister machinations -- and signs of a time when the fate of many civilizations rested in the able, unfaltering hands of RiftWar veterans Squire Locklear and cunning their-turned-squire Jimmy the Hand. It chronicles the powerful awakening of Owyn -- apprentice magician of untried strengths -- and celebrates the selfless achievements of Pug, the great sorcerer of two worlds. Welcome now to astonishing new corners of a world you have not yet fully explored-and prepare to experience true excitement, blood chilling terror...and the triumph born from the doom aimed at the beating heart of a kingdom.
The video game industry has always drawn upon works of fiction for inspiration--sooner or later, the process had to reverse itself. Krondor the Betrayal began its life as the bestselling role-playing video game of all time, written by Raymond E. Feist for Dynamix Inc. Feist, whose Serpentwar Saga has sold millions of copies and established him as one of the most popular fantasy authors of modern times, also wrote this novelization which places the action of the game in the context of his fully-realized fantasy setting, Midkemia. Feist's fans are legion. Longtime readers will be delighted at the return of popular characters Pug the Wizard, Squire Locklear, and others, as they face the menace of a marauding elf war-chieftain and a mysterious cabal of wizards. But first-time Feist readers may find Krondor the Betrayal baffling and tiresome--without the momentum of the larger series, much of the story's effect is diminished. The video game influence in this book is unmistakable--as evidenced by an encumbrance of sword fights, multilevel conspiracy, and two-dimensional characters. Anyone who enjoys reading about Midkemia will be thrilled to play the demonstration version of the CD-ROM game (included with the book). --Brendan J. LaSalle

New York Times bestselling author Raymond E. Feist returns us now to a place of unparalleled wonders--a sprawling kingdom coveted by enemies on all sides; a bustling center of commerce and magic, vibrantly alive and eternally in conflict. This is Midkemia, where great heroes are bred, and its glorious center...KrondorPrince Arutha--newly returned from battle--is concerned about a rash of unexplained assassinations that plagues his capital city. And so he commissions his most trusted agent, Squire James--formerly the thief known as "Jimmy the Hand"--to discover the source of the deadly epidemic. The answers seem to lie far beneath the streets in the dank depths of Krondor, where a terrible war rages in secret between two rival criminal gangs: those who call themselves "Mockers" and others in the thrall of a mysterious being known as "The Crawler." But the deeper the Squire delves, the closer he gets to the true nature of the horror that has left untold dead in its wake. And unless James can prevent one last, unthinkable slaying, the nightmare forces of corruption and deceit will destroy his liege and reduce his beloved Krondor to ruins.
Something is rotten in the state of Krondor: the Mockers, the gang of goons and bullyboys that were James's colleagues back when he was known as Jimmy the Hand, have been decimated in vicious fighting on the rooftops and in the sewers. That, and a seemingly random slew of murders, tips off the Crown that some outside concern is attempting an underworld power-grab right under the Prince's nose. Raymond E. Feist's second Riftwar book, Krondor the Assassins, continues the action of Krondor the Betrayal with Prince Arutha and Squire James back in the Midkemian capital, returning triumphantly from their campaign against the Tsurani magician Makala and moredhel headman Delekhan. But Arutha quickly sends James, née Jimmy, back into the city's seedy underbelly to investigate, and in the process he forms a sort of Krondorian secret service. Could the assassins of the Nighthawks be responsible, or perhaps some Keshian interest? James, naturally, begins to suss the situation out, which becomes even more complicated when a hunting party including the visiting Crown Prince of Olasko is beset by shape-shifting magicians. James and Arutha, both classic feel-good-fantasy heroes--the type of guys with a twinkle in their eye who seem virtually indestructible--eventually track their enemies down to a deserted Keshian fortress, facing assorted assassins, demons, and evil priests in the process. Not the most imaginative or compelling fantasy around, but The Assassins is still a fun romp for fans of the Krondor band. --Paul Hughes

Limited Only by Your Hard Drive Space
Ever since 3D games came into existence, gamers have been able to treat themselves to a whole new experience. They became immersed in a virtual world, where fantasy became the new reality. Yet, what does a person do if they can’t afford to play 3D games on a higher-end PC or a next-generation gaming system? Will they be restricted to older 3D games that don’t have the same appeal as those currently out on the market? Fortunately, the answer to this question is no. With the Internet, those with lower budgets can easily find 3D games online.
One of the best types of online 3D games is free MMORPGs, (also known as Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games). These games are usually designed after action role-playing games, where players must hack and slash their way through a rich fantasy world. There is also the option to use magic, if a player wants a more powerful attack. In the meantime, players get an opportunity to chat with other people in real-time as they are resting up in towns.
If you prefer arcade-style 3D games, you could try your hand at the numerous Flash games available. And, since many of these games are designed by hobbyists, you can find quite a few that are completely free-of-charge. Just be aware that you may have to sift through some of the selections, since it can be harder trying to find these types of 3D games, (mainly because Flash is often used to promote 2D perspectives). But they are out there, if you’re willing to play 3D games that use cell shading or other non-CGI techniques.
Another option for finding 3D games could entail using an online gaming service. GameTap is one of the most popular. With these services, you are usually given a free trial, to see if you like what the company has to offer. Or, you may be restricted to a certain type of game, (usually ones that always remain free). Either way, such services offer a great way to entertain yourself with 3D games, especially if you’re low on cash.
Finally, you can get 3D games through downloading. This is one of the most controversial alternatives, because it’s very tempted to download pirated 3D games. In fact, that’s one of the main reasons people join file-sharing networks… they want to get commercial 3D games without the worries of having to pay for them.
However, file-sharing services also offer legal games, such as homebrews or abandonware. How do these games work? Homebrew 3D games are designed by programmers who create games simply for the fun of it, while abandonware encompasses 3D games whose copyrights have expired. Both options can make for excellent gaming, though homebrews tend to offer more up-to-date graphics. Abandonware only does this if it was designed in the 90s, when 3D gaming started to take shape. Betrayal at Krondor is an example, though its graphics are considered somewhat dated by today’s standards. Still, it gave an impressive 3D view, despite the year it was made. It also provided one of the best storylines in the history of role-playing games.
In conclusion, just because you don’t have $200 or $300 for an Xbox or a Wii doesn’t mean you have to miss out playing worthwhile 3D games. With the Internet, your ability to play 3D games becomes limited only by your hard drive space.

About the Author
Some great, similar, classic, and addictive PC games to download?
I have played Betrayal at Krondor, Ascendancy, UFO:Enemy UnknownX-com1-3, Darklands, Ultima Underworld,
Can you recommend some similar games and possibly where I can get them?
Heh. DON'T download DOOM II unless you have a lot of free time on your hands. It looks like this site has a bunch of variations, so see if you can find either the most popular one or the vanilla version to start.
I would also recommend Civiliation II as a 100% match to your classic and addictive requirements, although I'm pretty sure you'll need to actually purchase the CD on e-bay to play that one. (By the way, Civ IV is the current version and is also very, very addictive, but Civ II is an all time classic.)
