Begun in the year 2000 and completed in 2006, "The Sword and the Fish" would become the second-most downloaded RM2000 game featured on the old Ultima Island website - enough to earn a place among other far more famous RPGs on www.tvtropes.com. It also spawned a fun 40-page comic you can read should you fancy.

AND FANCY YOU SHOULD!

Explosions galore! Maps a-plenty! Enough equipment boxes to kill a small horse! Yes, The Sword and the Fish is the game you've been waiting for - assuming you have been waiting for an archaic-looking game wherein the hero is a scruffy amoral hick. What it lacks for presentation, it later makes up for in presentation! And all the while you can laugh along with the most ridiculous cast of characters to ever operate in an A-B, up, down, left, right universe. The ancient demonlord GWAR (yeah, that's right) has awakened and begun nefarious works, but all our hero CLIFFORD wants to do is rock out in a bad local band. Ambitions are for the weak! Alas, the fates are jerks and Clifford soon finds himself forced to save the world, like, three times. At least. Maybe even more!

Join Clifford as he foils his village's local cult, gets headbutted by love, meets robots from the future, engages in tomfoolery, realizes the robots aren't really from the future, goes on trial for thuglettry, and tracks down and kills 7 powerful demons - before taking on Gwar himself!

An updated-ish website exists for The Sword and the Fish to take your gaming and comic-reading experience to a whole new level over here: https://swordandthefish.wordpress.com/

Original Score is Up!

Hello Satfies,

The original score is up over at my main website, and it offers a few songs DIFFERENT from the original score tracks attached to this site. So check it out! There is also a yearly poll because... that will likely be as long as it takes to get relevant results.

Basically... the site's done!

Delicious!

I played this years ago. Still got a copy on my backup drive somewhere I'm sure. Is this an updated version, or just finally getting a gampage?

Thanks nhubi.........for making me look like a noob :( :)haha

OK Mr/Ms Developer, off your bum and up the game. :)
This game sounds like a blast, can't wait to play it, please upload XD
Yo guys!

I'll up it momentarily. I was hoping to get my website up to snuff first, but that seems unlikely. Cool to see people remember the game and are saying nice things! I'm still very proud of it. And if you liked the initial stages of the game, by the end it is a juggernaut of epic throwdown.

1693 people viewed my profile and the game itself isn't uploaded? O the shame!
People, we've got a download! *ALARM SIRENS BLAME HALLELUJAH*

Finally getting a gampage... assuming you played the most recent version, which truth be told, you likely did.

Should be in the Read Me! file. I'm pretty sure one of the programs the game comes with fixes the text so it looks better than the original text... which, it seems, isn't showing at all for you. So try either of these and then see if they work!

Either:
rm2k_fp
or
RMRecker.exe
Well now, this is a pleasant surprise. Nice to see you're still alive and kicking.
