This game has reigned for 25+ years as the pinnacle of turn-based strategy games. It's even more popular in Europe, I hear. The developer has tried time and again to kill it with sequels, but the perfection of this game has defeated them. The graphics are dated since it's decades old, but the principles of the game itself endure. Defend your castle, flag mines to generate an income, defeat monsters to upgrade your hero. Some triumph through might, others magic. Acquire unique artifacts. This game is one for the ages.
