Lore III Marathon Winners

After battling hundreds of monsters and exploring five vast dimensions, the winner of the Lands of Lore III Marathon saved the kingdom of Gladstone Sunday at 10 a.m. after 14 hours and 15 minutes of RPGing.

Lore III Marathon Winners hits the March 1999 news desk on March 30, 1999. After battling hundreds of monsters and exploring five vast dimensions, the winner of the Lands of Lore III Marathon saved the kingdom of Gladstone Sunday at 10 a.m. after 14 hours and 15 minutes of RPGing.

Chris Reynoso, 23, a college student, won a cash prize of $5,000. He came very close to coming in second as another racer, Josh Adams, 24, had arrived to the final battle about 30 minutes earlier. Not every story comes with screenshots, but this is the sort of move that changes what players actually see later.
