Yeah - this was the game I sunk literally HUNDREDS of hours into during my junior year in high school. I think I may have even skipped a few days of schools when I got to the endgame portion just to finish it. There were "better" games out there even at the time - but for some reason this one and it's sequel ETERNAL DAGGER just caught my imagination. I even wrote a series of short stories about my character's adventures in the ruins of the city looking for grinding meat and treasure and ultimately Tarmon's magical crown. For it's time it was pretty deep with lots of hardcore role-playing options - the kind of high fantasy CRPG game that while not genre revolutionary - hit all the right spots I wanted. I remember keeping thick notebooks full of notes, maps and stats while I played. It's a must play for the nostalgic looking for a classic experience and the new scholar exploring what gaming was like in the latter half of the 1980's.
