A Great Classic Game That Still Takes The Top

Considering this game was created in 1999, the game has still grabbed my interest now. Back in 99 I tried to play the game and it was actually to much for the computers at the time. I just recently put in the discs and tried again and for the last 3 hours I have been back into Britaina as the game hero Avatar.

The good things include:

One of the Grandfathers of RPG games.
Snappy Fast Game Play
Special Effects that still impress me at times
And... Several paths to take

Some Things That Show The Game's Age:

Graphics look utterly horrible for this day and age but still aren't pixelated
Sound system is the most corniest thing in the world
Battle is very linear with the normal *stab stab* gameplay
Controls both on ground and in water take a hell of a long time to learn
Books can freeze gameplay for a max of 10 secs but DO NOT crash the game.

Bottom Line:

The game was its version of Top-Notch in the late 90's but ever with the legacy of age it kicks the ass of some other games made today. I would gladly have payed $15 for this game still today. (Original Price back in the day was $39.99)
