Thanks to AFnord's thread, I suddenly thought of the game again, and my interest in it picked up once more. It's a turn-based tactical gladiatorial game where you manage a league of hired monsters to try and become the best gladiator house. Its a very old game, and hasn't seen much success. So, just two days ago, I contacted the developer to get the game on GOG, and he said he would talk to GOG about it. Hopefully we'll get to see it here.

I'm sure most haven't played it before, but it's a really, really good game. Think of it as a fantasy-based Jagged Alliance 1, except you get thrown into random arenas rather than take over an entire island. You can train and equip your gladiators, and eventually as you gain in fame, you get to take on the more notorious schools/houses.

It's really good. You can check out the demo here if you're interested:

Also, if you've tried the demo and like it enough, please contact the developer. One voice alone isn't enough to convince him how much people want to see it here. Let Tero know how much you like it (if you do, of course).
