"It's hard to believe that it is two years since the original release of 'Dark Age of Camelot,'" said Mark Jacobs, president of Mythic Entertainment. "We decided that it was time to celebrate by offering people the chance to try out the game for free."
A magazine dedicated to providing sophisticated PC gamers with reviews, previews, strategies, and a view of the culture that surrounds computer gaming, Computer Gaming World distributed 311,000 copies of "Dark Age of Camelot" in its first DVD cover disc.
