A couple of my friends played Ys on the SMS, and they assumed it was pronounced Y's or wise. So when I told one of these friends that I had picked up the TG version of eese, he had no idea what I was talking about. I had to explain to him that eese is the real pronunciation. He still questions it, but that's just because he's a stubborn bastard.

It's definately pronounces 'ease'. The word 'Ys' is actually from gaelic, and it's basically the gaelic version of the Atlantis myth. There's actually a real myth about a vanished city called Ys that was buried under the ocean.

Wow that I didn't know. So Ys is Gaelic. Very cool find Thag

A guy who worked at the local game rental store back in the day pronounced it "yise". This was before the Turbo version of course.

There are tons of cheap books on the gaelic Ys.
