The original author of Paladin's Legacy, Allan Chaney, contacted the  
CoCo list back in September, 2008.  He was trying to get the game  
working (in an emulator) so he could show it to his kids.  Allan had  
many of his original work disks, but many of them had physically  
decayed and could not be easily read.  Allan had disks of the final  
version of the game prior to copy protection being applied by Sundog  
Systems for the commercially sold disks.

Fellow CoCoist Tim Lindner seemed to have some disk images in his  
collection that pertained to Paladin's Legacy:

Paladin.dmk
Paladin_workdisk.dmk
Paladin_orig_1of2.dmk
Paladin_legacy_s2.dmk
Paladin_legacy_s1.dmk

 From his collection, we were able to cobble together a working  
version of Paladin as you found on Allan's website <http://paladinslegacyretro.wordpress.com/ 
 >.

Another Cocoist, Andrew Ayers, was working on compiling a complete  
repository of all of the Paladin assets <http://www.phoenixgarage.org/show_article/75 
 >.  I'm not sure what became of this project.
