Long-Awaited Anachronox Patch Out Now

Posted by simoniker on from the dedication-to-dead-projects dept.

psyco484 writes "A long-awaited patch (Build_45) to the PC action-RPG Anachronox has finally been released. Thanks to ex-Ion Storm programmer Joey 'Chinaman' Law, Anachronox now runs a lot better. Hope there's still a few fans out there, an excellent game with a good story. Read about it on the PlanetAnachronox forum, which also has a list of mirrors." Whatever you think of the game, adding new features like a Bricks Taxi short-cut service and fixing a heap of bugs, months/years after the Anachronox team got laid off when Ion Storm closed down, shows a lot of dedication.

    I feel safer knowing that there's a cure for this horrific malady in the convenient form of a patch. I don't have to worry about being embarrassed in public either as the medicine sits quietly on my right shoulder.

    Wait a sec... you said *Anachronox*? Er, um, is that worse than Anthrax? /me shudders.
