Modern classic
This game is a fun blend of puzzle-solving, combat and role-playing and hearkens back to the Ultima Underworlds and Dungeon Masters of old. The sense of satisfaction at finding the entrance to a secret room after an hour of searching can't be beat. Watching my minotaur deal the death blow to a giant crab brings a huge grin to my face. The grid-based movement and combat seems strange at first after 15 years of playing free-form FPS games, but there is a lot of strategy involved and I have come to love this combat system. The atmosphere is great. Dark, creepy, the sounds you hear through the walls. And when your torch starts going out... and a troll charges you out of the dark... I found it well worth it to have my mage learn "Light" ASAP to avoid such nasty surprises. And there are so many different ways you can play this game. Different character classes and combinations make for great replay. You might be able to solve all the puzzles the second time through but wait until the level editor comes out...
