User Rating: 9.3 | Darklands PC

As of August 2007 Darklands celebrates it's 15th anniversary, being released in August 1992!

Despite it's age however, it is still one of the greatest RPG's ever released and joins the like of Daggerfall and Fallout and The Realms of Arkania Trilogy as one of the greatest RPG's of all time! This game has never left my hard drive (saves copied to CD-Rom. game reinstalled on each new hard drive/PC purchase, save re-copied to new hard drive!)

I won't repeat what others have said here so eloquently, so I will just say that even though 15 years old, as an RPG gamer you have to hunt down this game and play it! I say this as someone who has played and finished Oblivion, but have still carried on playing this fantastic game!
