WHEN and HOW did you first play slay?
WHEN and HOW did you first play slay?
do you remember where you first heard about slay or how you came by it? I think for me it was around 1995/96 - i got it from a friend of my mum as the shareware version. It's not until now that i've owned my own machine so been able to justify the full version.
sean - is the original trial island one of the current ones?

I Googled "online strategy games" or something like that and sifted through the muck until I found this gem. It has fascinated me ever since!

I think it was maybe last year when my sister googled multiplayer games. At first I wasn't very interested but when she actually downloaded them... I was hooked! She saw it comming all along after that... I just HAD to buy the games
! And whaddya know, here I am playing them today!

My thanks and best regards to all my former submitters.
Ages & ages ago
I still have the original PC version of slay (shareware, so only one island) installed at home, although I hadn't played it for a while. I got it on a cover disk some time around 1994, I think. Funnily enough, I started it up last night because I thought the new version was a bit different, and sure enough..
- In the original version you could only place men in your own territory on your first turn, you couldn't capture.
- Also, the stronghold wasn't as strong as it is now. If there was a 2 hex enemy territory, you could use a serf to take the hex adjacent to the stronghold and it'd turn into a tree.
- The stats & cost windows were done as separate windows to the side of the main one, rather than being integrated in it.

i think last year i was browsing the web for demos of simple games, and found a link here from a link off of the missionrisk page, and downloaded the games. Then later i bought them. All I know is that ive improved a lot since I first played, meaning i didnt play very well at first
