This was originally posted at Abandonia Forums. Personally I've never heard of it before, but it must have been quite popular. Looks rather fine too It was released as freeware by the developer in 2008.

Well this is most peculiar case.
Realmz is indie Mac/Windows RPG from 1994, with official scenarios/expansions being released up to 2002.
It was developed by a guy called Tim Phillips and published through his company Fantasoft.
(He also published some games for other Mac Indie Developers, including the original Exile Trilogy by Jeff Vogel.)
In November 2008, Tim Phillips released the full version of Realmz (Mac & Windows) as a free download. Plus the registration numbers for the commercial scenarios/expansions made available to everyone on the Realmz Yahoo Group.
However, Fantasoft's website has since expired.
