Lands of Lore 1
LOL 1 is one of my favorite games of all time. No co-op modes and victory-dancing characters, but if you're looking for a classic, old school dungeon crawler, you can't top this game. I still remember buying it at a mall software store for $60. I played it through with each of it's 4 characters back in the day, and will play it again, now that it will run on my system. It has a variety of environments, both underground and above, with interesting characters and enemies. Movement is the typical block style, 90 degree turns, with side sliding. It's also loaded with puzzles, traps, and secret areas (thank goodness for automaps). At the time, it was considered to be a leader in graphics for this type of game, even surpassing popular titles like the Eye of the Beholder and Forgotten Realms series. If you've thought about trying this, for the price, you absolutely can't go wrong. As for the game compatibility: I gave up on many old games due to compatibility issues with new hardware and operating systems, and I was hesitant to try this from GOG. I have to admit that I was absolutely amazed at how well these games worked with their Dosbox configuration, running them under Windows 10. Win 10 has enough of it's own issues with hardware support, and to have these games roar back to life with full DOS features and sound was outstanding. The emulation was almost flawless. I say almost, because I have noticed some garbled screens when loading new environments between levels on LOL 1, but it only lasts a couple of seconds, and then it's perfect. On the plus side, in the original CD version, there was always a second or two pause before the characters started to speak. You could hear the CD spinning up for the sound file, and it was slightly annoying. Since this version is all on the hard drive, there is no pause at all. Two thumbs up! Overall, I couldn't ask for more, considering I'm running a 25 year old DOS game in emulation.
