Description:

Welcome to the Stone Age, a time of brutish chieftains, where the only law
was that of the jungle.  Revisit an ancient time on earth, on a forgotten
island continent.  For on this prehistoric land, great beasts dwelt,
having survived from the Jurassic age of the past.  These creatures were
the most powerful that have ever lumbered across the savage face of this
earth:	these were the dinosaurs.  Upon this ancient sub-continent, man
had found methods to tame and train these beasts, and to harness them as
weapons of war.  In Saurian Lords, players take the role of a tribal
chieftain, leading a tribe of stone-age humans.  You must lead your
minions and herds of mighty dinosaurs in the quest to carve out a kingdom.
 If you succeed, your deeds will be carven into the annals of time, and
will change the course of history itself.  If you fail, you shall be
forgotten, and your tribe will become extinct.	Raise now the banner of
war, and take the reigns of your tribe, for the struggle awaits.

About the Game:  Saurian Lords uses a small software program, called
Lizardware.  You use this to input all of your orders for your tribe.
Declare War, Form Alliances, and sent forth your armies of beasts to
conquer territories.  All of your forces are shown as miniatures on a game
map, to help you to envision your domain.  And its free to play!
