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/
Delicious!

CloseHi Canim,
Sorry for the super-late response, but I'm having my OWN troubles with the game on Windows 10... so I can't help much 1.5 years later.
There IS a file that 'fixes text' for the game, that should be in the download, called rm2k_fp.exe. Run that before installing RTP etc. If not, unsure. Or re-install. Or try installing off the website: https://swordandthefish.wordpress.com/

Very happy to know your game is with us this year, I played it when it was in RPG 2000 :-), and I think I keep it saved In a backup copy. always reviewing the site searching for a new version, the last version I tried was on january 2018 ( I downloaded it but it did not function at all), now oh great surprise, I downloaded it today and will try to play it again. Thanks for keep the game alive.

Well now, this is a pleasant surprise. Nice to see you're still alive and kicking.
Thank you! Being alive is one of the things I'm most proud of.

im getting blanks on the narration . Is there some font or something I'm missing
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

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

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.
Delicious!
