it's an old version of lord compiled in 1999.
also someone used a reg code generator to make it appear paid for.

Legend of the Red Dragon is an awesome game and tons of fun, and actually very sociable. Come by and visit our website that is completely dedicated to L.O.R.D.

This game was great for meeting new ladies and meeting them in person off of the BBS.The add on's to this game make LORD a lot tougher to play, like Winter Lord.
This game could play well as high as 56K modems, before internet got popular.
I even got to meet a lady who was named Violet :D.I hope that Seth Able Robinson found his Violet or equivalent babe.
Lord_net was a challenge and just to make it to Level 12 and survive being killed was a challenge for that time period.
Creating teams with other players made it easier to march through the game.
Most of the BBS's in the province of Ontario Canada was running this game.

This is a BBS 'door' game, and is intended to be hosted by an online bulletin board system (or BBS) which are largely non-existent today. You can find some to telenet to on the internet, and they will likely still be hosting this popular game. The game gives you a set number of turns each day, and through choices and random encounters, allows you to build score, and reputation against other human players who would also log in to play their turns, typically not at the same time you did. This game allowed the users to leave messages with one another, add to an ongoing chat board, and even marry other players.
L.O.R.D. is unlikely to be enjoyable in single player format, and may even be difficult to configure outside of it's expected BBS environment. Because it was played over dial up modems, the graphics are ascii or ANSI, and played well even at 14.4k baud. It is expected to be a multiplayer, turn based game, with most of the meaningful interactions taking place with other actual players.

The New Legend of Shaolin (Chinese: 洪熙官之少林五祖; pinyin: Hóng Xīguān Zhī Shàolín Wǔ Zǔ; released in the United Kingdom as Legend of the Red Dragon) is a 1994 Hong Kong martial arts film directed by Wong Jing and Corey Yuen, and produced by Jet Li, who also starred in the lead role. The film was released in the Hong Kong on 3 March 1994. This film showcases Hung Hei-kwun's exploits as a rebel against the Qing government. This is one of two films in which Li and Miu Tse play a father-son duo, the other being My Father Is a Hero.
Plot[edit]
Hung Hei-kwun arrives in his village after a raid by government soldiers, only to find his whole village destroyed. Hung Hei-kwun quickly finds his infant son and gives him a choice between death and joining him in the rebellion. Upon leaving his village he encounters Ma Ling-yee, who is also supposed to be involved in the rebellion; he learns that Ling-yee had betrayed him and their village for the bounty on Hei-kwun's head. After an epic battle, the film skips ahead several years and arrives with Hung Hei-kwun and his now-skilled son making their way through China in order to find money for food. At this time, the film introduces 'Red Bean', who is in the process of swindling a very rich man, Ma Kai-sin, out of his money. Kwun tries to leave his son in the care of his brother but is betrayed, forcing him to kill his brother. The rich man, witnessing the carnage done by Kwun, hires Hung Hei-Kwun as a bodyguard. Initially he wants Kwun to help him bully and steal from others; Kwun refuses the offer but decides to be his bodyguard instead because he and Man Ting, his son, ran out of money.
At the same time the government has begun to crack down on Shaolin. Pieces of a map are tattooed onto the backs of several pupils, who are then removed from the temple in order to keep safe the Ming Dynasty treasure the map leads to. Years ago, Hung Hei-kwun's encounter with the money hungry Ma Ling-yee did not end as Hung thought it did: Ma Ling-yee survived the fight as a result of being dipped in poison and restored by The Monk of the West District. Now a disgusting creature, his only purpose for life is to get revenge and kill Hei-kwun. The government massacres Shaolin, while Ma Ling-yee himself kills the abbot. Thereafter, he begins the hunt for Hei-kwun and the escaped pupils.
Hei-kwun and Man-ting, along with Red Bean and her mother (who plays dead in order to swindle people out of their money) arrive at Ma Kai-sin's mansion. Red Bean is to be married to Kai-sin, who is completely oblivious to Red Bean and her mother's plans to steal his wealth. While Hei-kwun and Man-ting begin to settle in, Red Bean sees Hei-kwun as a threat to her plans. She attempts to kill him, but she fails and Hei-kwun warns her that as long as he is around, she will not be causing any trouble. Man-ting sees all of this, and accuses his father of having feelings for Red Bean, since through their travels, Hei-kwun taught his son many teachings to stay alive, such as 'to kill without mercy', or 'hold your temper, but only until you cannot hold it anymore'.
Meanwhile, Kai-sin's son, Ling-yee, begins to bully Man-ting, due to Man-ting's low social status and Ling-yee's jealousy of Man-ting's superiority in Kung Fu. Ling-yee, a former pupil of Shaolin (who has a part of the map tattooed on his back), calls upon his former Shaolin friends (who also have the other parts of the map) to help him beat up Man-ting. Man-ting, although trying to be passive at first, loses his temper, beating all the boys up, as well as spraining Ling-yee's arm. However, Man-ting commands Ling-yee to hold still as he quickly fixes Ling-yee's arm, to prevent permanent damage. This earns him the respect of all the other boys, and they all call him 'oldest brother' out of respect, although he is the youngest of them all.
On the Lunar New Year, several guests dine and celebrate at Kai-yin's mansion. However, government soldiers have tracked the location of the pupils to Kai-Sin's home …

Reception[edit]
