CotW has been in the public domain since 1998. I wouldn\'t really call it news like this thread seems to suggest *grin* Although Rick Saada never released the source code, he\'d probably email it to you if you asked him for it.
Still, it\'s an awesome game. I remember playing this a long time ago. CotW was perhaps the earliest RPG I\'ve ever played, and although it\'s hard to pick up if you\'re not used to rogue-like games, it\'s addictive once you do.
