I had a couple of users who used to play Meldon and I wanted to register it.
When Al from Sunrise had one of his registration specials, I registered all of
the DOS games he had.  Al took over the Lounge doors when Jim stopped
developing them, but apparently Al retired the DOS version of Meldon so I
didn't get a key for that one.

The game is similar to LORD in that it is an RPG that seems to mimic a
similar point in time (when warriors had swords but not guns), but the
gameplay is different.  The gameplay is more like Quest for Nora or Legends of
Ole.

I am also curious.
