When I purchased this game, I initially felt that my enjoyment was driven by nostalgia as I remembered playing it in my parents basement in high school. However I have to admit that I have continued to be thrilled by it, not because it brings back memories of childhood, but because it is by far the best RPG ever created. The story is Tolkienesque in it's depth and the characters go far beyond the one dimensional cliches. Don't let the clunky graphics, inventory management and combat dishearten you. This is truly a game for the ages that you will not be disappointed in. However, I must warn you that it's worth it to have a pen and paper to jot down details every so often. There are no quest markers in this game nor is there an in game log. You'll have to become comfortable with reading lattitude and longitude into order to make your way around. You'll also need to become proficient in the runic language of the land. This is a game for people who like to use their brains. The puzzles are challenging and fun and there's real satisfaction in solving the multi-layered mystery of what's happening in Brittania. I don't want to provide any spoilers but I would strongly recommend that you purchase this and explore the vast, open-ended world of Britannia with all of its characters and mysteries. Enjoy!
