Long-Awaited Anachronox Patch Out Now

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.

Look into it a little. Chinaman has been working off his own time on a game who's parent company no longer exists. The patch was promised, put off, now it's released. It's not the OSS community, but it's still pretty cool for enough interest to still be in the game.
