Challenge of the Five Realms, a MicroProse 1992 classic RPG in a land of high-fantasy full of magic and wonder, is available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux on GOG.com, for only $5.99.

In Challenge of the Five Realms you now have 100 days to keep the world from being cast into eternal despair! But is 100 days enough? After all, in addition to confronting Grimnoth’s evil forces, you’ll have to unlock the many mysteries behind his power. And you’ll need to overcome the myriad obstacles that dot each realm! Defeat a menacing band of traitors intent on conquering your kingdom; journey beneath the ocean to a vast underwater land; venture into the core of the world to find hidden secrets, fly to the majestic kingdom of the sky and experience the magic and wonder of the enchanted forest. You’ll experience an array of wondrous and unpredictable scenarios. Each brought to life by compelling animations, streamlined character generation, and a truly unique storyline!

If you're looking for an involving tale of heroism and magic, the world of classic role-playing games is probably the best place to start looking, and with Challenge of the Five Realms for only $5.99 on GOG.com, your quest is guaranteed to be successful!
Finally. You know how tempting it was to post here? It does remind me quite a bit of Ultima VII, now to go looking for more info.
Hmm reminds me a bit of Times of Lore graphically, neat release.
More Microprose goodness is always welcome
Nice to see a classic release after long time although have no idea what this game is about :)

Good to see so many new releases. Not all of them are interesting to me, and I won't be buying anything right now (too little money, too many games owned and not yet played), but it's good to see new thing replace what was recently removed.

Never heard of this, found some review that makes it look rather interesting - http://www.gamebanshee.com/news/106543-rpg-spotlight-11-challenge-of-the-five-realms.html

Guess I'll wishlist it for now.
Wishlisted for now. It's nice to see another MicroProse/Tommo release.

For anyone who doesn't know, this game was by the same developers who went on to make BloodNet, it shares a similar engine and gameplay, skill system etc, also it has a time limit just like the time limit in Bloodnet until you lose your humanity to vampirism.
I bought this when it was originally released. Played it, I think I might have even completed it. I remember enjoying it, but honestly I can't remember much on it beyond that.
