Based on Raymond E. Feist's Riftwar saga (and co-written by Feist himself), Betrayal at Krondor is a medieval fantasy-themed role-playing game set in the Riftwar universe. The story begins as Gorath, a moredhel (dark elf) renegade, who intended to warn the people of Krondor of the upcoming moredhel. Betrayal at Krondor is based on the Midkemian Universe created by Midkemia Press and Raymond E. The game was named 1994 Game of the Year by Computer Games Strategy Plus and is widely recognized as one of the best CRPG games ever made. Betrayal at Krondor is an adventure RPG game developed and published by Dynamix in 1993 for DOS. It was later ported to Windows in 2010. Betrayal at Krondor is inspired by and based on the Riftwar novels written by Raymond E. Feist, who had a hand in the story and script for the game as well.

Description of Betrayal at Krondor
One of the best RPGs ever made, Betrayal at Krondor is a classic example of games that get rave reviews yet do poorly in stores (at least until it was re-released on CD-ROM).
Flat 'paper-doll' digitized graphics is just about the only criticism you can level at this classic, which features an excellent plot written by best-selling fantasy author Raymond Feist (who also had considerable input in the design process), memorable characters, cool spellcasting interface, and an abundance of optional sub-quests and riddle chests. Sierra made the game freeware in 1997 to promote their own sequel Betrayal at Antara (which, without Feist' s input, is a pale shadow of its predecessor). Suffice to say that noone can claim to be an old-time RPGer if they have never set foot in Krondor :)
Note: Although the CD version is for sale for only $5 at E CD-ROM shop, it is the cut-down, 'Sierra Classic' version that includes neither the interview with Raymond Feist nor the CD music. It also includes no manual :/ You are therefore advised to either go buy it somewhere else, or download our near-complete CD rip below.

I was never a big fan of this series, they were OK, just over-rated and over-hyped. That said, worth playing if your a fan of story driven CRPGs.

Oh, wow. I'm excited just looking at the screencaps! I grew up on Betrayal In Antara and have long been curious to play its forerunner. Here's hoping the files run okay. Thank you for uploading this!

Description (by Dynamix)
Midkemia - a realm of enchantment and ancient magic where elves, dwarves and man once battled an 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.
Now, Dynamix 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.
