This is an old school game in every sense of the term. And it is old enough that it is the style typically associated with old school PC gaming. At times it feels like you're playing D&D by yourself, all the dice rolls, all the character management all the whims of a bored DM. It has a lot of depth and if you're not thrown off by all the reading, or the micro-managing as if you were taking a family of 8 on a cross country road trip where everyone has a bone to pick with someone else in the party then this is for you. The only reason I removed a star is not for the game itself, but because it deserves the caveat that this is NOT the NES version. The NES version removed a lot of the micro from the game and made it more accessible (not read: better). So if you are buying this off of some late 80's nostalgia this is not what you think it is.
