This is a great D&D/Wizardry style RPG.

If you loved the original Bard's Tale or Wizardry, this game is for you. In-depth character development, classic dungeon crawling, what more could you ask for? Money is hard to come by, and experience comes slowly...so you've got hours of game play ahead of you! The depth of character development is impressive - so your elven mage must be neutral in alignment which means he cannot have a secondary class of priest (necessary to eventually become a druid)...go pray enough times at a temple and your alignment will change to the alignment of the temple which means that now you can have a secondary class of priest and eventually become a druid. It's impressive depth such as that which will appeal to hard-core gamers...even those of us who started out with paper, pencils and 20 sided dice. If you really want to go old school, the game allows for a switch to and old style view that harkens back to green and white screens from the early 80s.
