About

Syn9's freeware action RPG, written in FreeBASIC, ported to C by Dmitry Smagin and from there to ScummVM, its data streamed by the demo.

The Griffon Legend is a freeware zelda-like RPG created in FreeBASIC as part of a contest by Syn9 (Daniel Kennedy). 500 years after the Griffon-Dragon war, the Dragons have returned to reclaim their empire. Cities are falling, everyone is dying, and the lone Griffon Knight Fayne is caught up in the middle of it all.
