Title
One of my all-time favourite CRPGs, and I fondly remember the hours I devoted into getting through this, and mapping it. A word about the mapping. From memory, the completed map for this game occupied about five or six sheets from a standard grid paper exercise book.

That aside, this was a massive game in scope and time spent - at least 70-80 hours. Not bad for something that came on a handful of 5¼ floppy disks. It's like the remainder of the games in this series apart from Hillsfar - a dungeon-crawling stepper that becomes isometric when you enter battle. Some of those battles were challenging, especially as everything has bene ramped up - the available spell levels are higher, so nuclear-missile favourites like Meteor Swarm and Delayed Blast Fireball are available to you and the opposition.

Like all the other Gold Box games, it looks and plays old by today's standards, but for sheer, pure enjoyment, there was nothing else at the time that came close to topping it.
