Stonekeep

I put several hours into this game back when it was fairly new. It was fun for quite a while, but the tedium wore on me after a while. Maybe I just kept missing stuff, but it seemed like there was a lot of backtracking without anything to make it feel fresh and fun.

Stonekeep is a great game, but it's probably one of the most complicated and difficult games to play successfully. This isn't one of your hand-holding, namby-pamby, wussy games...Stonekeep is brutal and unforgiving, with puzzles that don't simply lead you down that path to insanity...they drag you kicking and screming to the edge, then toss you over. Definitely a case where you absolutely want to get the Stonekeep Strategy Guide.

Played this game long time ago....unique game interface, great sounds and graphics (digitalization). One on the "wooow" efect game in 95´, it´s a classic Dungeon and I mean DUNGEON(rpg is not quite correct .p) Great gothic atmosphere, great effect . Oldschool dungeon gamers must love this game. Its the dungeons GOD!! Wahoookaaaa :o) ps: hope the complete UFO (X-com) strategy saga will be there soon :p

But even then, I'd still like to play Stonekeep. Okay, so it's not Ultima Underworld or System Shock, but it's still one of the better (and funnier) RPG's. Play it and decide for yourself: Maybe you too would rather be a dwarf.

This is a great game for the old school lovers, but over all it's to easy. You need only a few times additional saves during fights. I am missing something that was new at this time. The graphics are not really nice and many walls are used in different areas only with a new color shape. It's good but i would not buy it earlier for more bucks.
