About the Game
"Gladiator ... gladiator ... gladiator ... Swords and Sandals, Gladiatorrrrr!"
If this refrain means anything to you, then you grew up playing the legendary Swords and Sandals turn based combat game series. Millions of kids grew up playing S&S in their schools, late at night on the family computer's browsers or in their bedroom on a rainy Saturday morning. These games have been played over half a billion times, and for good reason. Swords and Sandals is nostalgia, Swords and Sandals is life.
Now, the world's favourite gladiator game series has arrived on Steam for the very first time ever.
The Swords and Sandals Classic Collection comes with five of the greatest S&S games ever made (and two bonus games!) and three art galleries featuring behind the scenes images from the series long and illustrious past.
PLEASE NOTE - ONLY SWORDS AND SANDALS IV OFFERS MULTIPLAYER ( VIA LOCAL HOTSEAT )
Swords and Sandals I : Gladiator
Hear the crowd roar as you enter the gladiatorial arena in this epic adventure set on the Island of Doomtrek. Unleash the hero within and become the ultimate gladiator against 7 of Brandor's fiercest Arena Champions. Go back to where it all began when the madman HeChaos ruled the arena!
Swords and Sandals II : Emperor's Reign
Arise Gladiator. Released from your chains in a dark cell and thrust into the arena you must fight for your life, fame and fortune. The evil Emperor Antares now reigns supreme in Doomtrek and the gladiatorial games are bigger and more epic than ever as twenty legendary fighters enter the arena. If it is your destiny you will vanquish your rivals, defeat the Emperor and become an immortal.
Swords and Sandals III : Gladiae Ultratus
Part three of the great series hurls you into the Gladiae Ultratus, the most dangerous and spectacular gladiator tournament in all Tritonia. Forget all you thought you knew about Swords & Sandals and prepare yourself for the quest of a thousand lifetimes! 24 powerful new Arena Champions await you, from mighty stone giants to automaton robots from another world. Are you ready to become the ultimate gladiator? (Note, this is the SOLO edition of the game. Alas, the multiplayer servers died many years ago but will be reborn in S&S VI, coming in 2020!)
Swords and Sandals IV: Tavern Quests
The Swords and Sandals saga continues as our embattled gladiators step out from the arena and into a wider and more dangerous world. Up to four gladiators compete in a variety of minigames, adventures and battles set across an epic eight realms of danger and adventure. Featuring over 40 minigames, local multiplayer action with up to 3 friends and all the gladiatorial action the game series is famous four. It's turn based combat meets Mario Party in Brandor's biggest board game crazy.

Control giant iron robots, fifty foot high demons and great apes and shake the very foundations of Brandor. Put on your sandals again and become the finest crusader in the realm!

Hey gladiators, this is a small maintainence patch for Swords and Sandals IV.
When Steam updated its UI recently, it broke compatibility with the S&S Classic Collection - I've been able to fix that, let's hope this fix doesn't open the floodgate to other issues! I think it should be alright, I tested all the games and the Steam Overlay shows up again.
Also a small fix for enemy gladiators in S&S IV appearing to have no armour/weapons.
Thanks as always for your continued support of this ancient and hallowed series, haha :)
I've taken a break from the series for a little while ( as I've been working on the remakes, sequels, spinoffs pretty much non-stop since 2016 ) to work on my new game Tower Shield but I hope to return to Brandor in the days ahead!
Cheers, Oliver Joyce

• Swords and Sandals IV : Gladiators now gain correct amount of gold after each game played
Good morning gladiators!
One of the big complaints about the Classic Collection was that in S&S 3, you could only save one gladiator. In the old Fizzy versions, you could save up to ten, so understandably a lot of people were confused and annoyed about the restrictions on the new one.
Long story short, technical issues with S&S 3 had kept me from being able to save more than one gladiator in the game, but I've completely re-written the save game system using the same ancient code as the old game.
After installing this patch, you'll be able to save up to 10 gladiators. For those who already have a saved gladiator in S&S 3, I am *fairly* confident this will automatically convert to the new save game system, but I can't guarantee it. My huge apologies if your character in S&S 3 is lost after this update, but the trade-off for the multiple saves should hopefully help.
Other small fixes:
Many thanks to everyone who has played the game! As always, I'll keep patching things as I find solutions ( though sometimes it can be really tricky as some of these bugs are a decade old or more!)

- In S&S 3, the Juggernaut skill now properly shows your height and weight increasing on your character sheet.

Hey everyone! Apologies for the delay in patching the Classic Collection! I've been super busy lately, between this game, looking after my little son, maintaining the mobile versions of the games and working on the new game Spartacus, my time has just felt non-existent!
Good news is there's a new patch up for the game! Here are some of the latest additions / fixes - this is for Windows only right now but a Mac patch is coming soon too.
Global Changes]
Swords and Sandals II
Swords and Sandals Crusader
Swords and Sandals IV
I will keep patching this game over the months and years, it just might take me a while as many of the bugs are from code written in 2006 that *used* to work but just has totally broken in newer versions of Windows etc, things like Tween engines that once worked now sometimes fail, collision detection is done differently etc! It's a creaky machine :)
Once again, thankyou all so much for supporting the S&S series and I look forward to bringing you more adventures in Spartacus and Swords and Sandals VI in 2019 / 2020 and beyond!

Global Changes]
- Players can now return to the main menu by clicking Quit Game. This was a lot trickier to implement than I thought, but it's working now. You can go back and forward between games without having to reload the main game every time.
- New background image added to random backgrounds
- Fixed a bunch of broken tweens and typos in the games
Swords and Sandals II
- Fixed a bug where enemy trivia didn't show up properly
- Resized orange parchment on battle UI to fit screens better
- Fixed a bug where ammo was not showing for characters in battle
Swords and Sandals Crusader
- Fixed a bug in the Leadership spell that would sometimes freeze the game
- Fixed some blurring issues on sprites in battle
- Fixed a bug where the game would sometimes pause between arrow fire exchanges
Swords and Sandals IV
- Potential fix for the Arena tiles showing 'Closed for repairs'. (You may find this causes some glitches or undefined character names, if so, let me know!)

* 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!

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.
