Hey everyone,
i'm going on a lone wolf posting spree!! But i'm a member of the Kai Wisdom emailing list, and was wondering if anyone here has heard anything about a lone wolf official game. I'd heard that a company was making an official one or was in the works to but it was never released. Does anyone know the truth to it?

I've never heard of a Lone Wolf computer game, not even in rumor. The only game I know of is the D20 system that Mongoose Publishing will be releasing next month.
I'm sure you've read the topics on the board about a Neverwinter Nights mod, but that's about it.

Actually, there was a Lone Wolf computer game made for the Sinclair and a couple of other really ancient computers. It was a platform jumper game along the lines of Castlevania (sp?), where you climb up ladders, jump holes, fight bats and monsters, etc.
I downloaded the emulator and game about a year ago and fount it to be almost unplayable. However, that could be because A) my reflexes are shot for not playing this kind of game in ages, B) the emulator worked almost up to what was needed to actually run the dated game, or C) games used to be harder back then, as we really didn't have much of a choice for what to play, and we had to keep trying until we got it right. That's why such small games kept us entertained for many long hours. Ugh. I'm dating myself, here.
Anyway, it exists, but I never thought it 'felt' like Lone Wolf.

That Lone Wolf game is crap now but it was crap then too. What probably happened was the developers, drowning in the ineptitude of the 8k abomination they had created, secured a licence that ensured that no matter how crap it was, devotees of the books would read it. Avoid
