Five years ago Bethesda released Arena (the first Elder Scrolls game) as a free download. Today they've done the same with Daggerfall, considered by almost everyone to be one of the best crpgs of all time. Get it here!

Just be sure you have DOSBOX so you can play it.....

Links to DOSBox and instructions on how to get Daggerfall installed and running are all on the same page.

Daggerfall was a quality game, but the overworld map was just too darned small. You always felt hemmed in.

I also came across DaggerXL, a project to make a more graphically refined version of the DF engine. Looks neat if you enjoy these kinds of projects.

Interesting, but I doubt it will be completed anytime soon. There is an attempt to update the original Star Warsark Forces that has been going on for nearly six years, and is less then half complete. And that is a conversion to the Jedi Academy engine, a lot simpler then what they trying to do with Daggerfall.

BTW a word of warning: installing Daggerfall to run in Dosbox can be, uh, interesting. I am a pretty experienced DOS user and it took me about two hours to get it up and running.
I suggest using the alternate installation instructiions in the forum at theelderscrolls .com rather then the official ones. For one thing, once you get the sucker installed, you only have to type a couple of commands to get it started rather then the five or six in the offical installation insturctions.

Of course this is in keeping with the Daggerfall tradition of being the Morris The Cat of computer games:very finicky. Even on it's first release, almost every review cautioned it was a great game that was also very buggy.
