Age of Wonders is a fairly solid case of turn-based strategy with a high-fantasy theme. The graphics are functional and somewhat endearing if you're used to the genre's emphasis on gameplay over presentation in general. The sound isn't much to write home about, and musically it's about what you'd expect from a game featuring Tolkien-esque overtones.

Word of warning--the difficulty of the game can be extremely uneven depending on what course you decide to take (there are several branching points from mission to mission). That aside, this is a fantastic budget buy if it's even still available, and in the case that it's not, you can probably still acquire it's superior sequel on the discount rack of most stores.
