Scarlet Brotherhood of Hsi So - a Wizardry scenario by Joel Fenton - 1985 Backstreet Software
| Scarlet Brotherhood of Hsi So v3.1.zip |
This is the Scarlet Brotherhood of Hsi So scenario by Joel Fenton released in 1985. Notes: This Wizardry scenario is for characters level 1 and up. You can also import your characters from other scenarios, but WITHOUT EQUIPMENT since the equipment tables are not the same. Bringing a bit of gold for buying basic armor and weapons is desirable. When doing so, make a copy of your scenario disk, or make it write-protect, so that the characters of your source disk are not marked as lost when transferring. Game play notes and suggestions: - Mapping this scenario with pencil and quad paper is not too hard. - Having your level 1 fighters start with 18 strength and high agility makes for a more enjoyable flow of the game. - On level 10, your spells casters having 18 agility helps a lot. This game is in Apple II disk format. You will need an Apple II emulator like AppleWin below. First, create a folder of your choice such as C:\Games\Scarlet-Brotherhood-of-Hsi-So where you will unzip the disk images and the Apple II emulator files. Note that this scenario now uses the newer v3.1 game engine with tons of quality-of-life enhancements, and fixes.

| AppleWin | This is an Apple IIe emulator for Windows for the above scenario. Unzip it in the same folder you put the game into. Tip: go into the AppleWin Configuration (joystick/speaker button at bottom right) and remove the check mark in front of "50% Scan Lines" to get better video.
