Review of the game.

First it is a game like MM2, bards tale . (not real time like DM).

story : 
Save the land from some evil doers.

graphics :
some are ok, some are really amateurish. (MM2 graphics were cute).
and the window is way small. (After DM or MM2, a quarter screen is unacceptabl
e),

sound :
beep, (DM was somptuous).

animation : 
havent seen much. 

User interface : 
C-64 like enhanced by the Mouse . I hated it . There was no "pseudo" intuition
to jump from menu to menu, you HAD to read all the texts to know at what level
you were . 

Combat : 
SSI style . (phantasye (sp?)) you see a row of "dots" representing you.
under a row of dots representing the monsters , well ... there goes the 
realism.



Encounters:
It is really fun to meet a fighter who wants to join you and see a picture of
Rats ...

Baseline :
spend your hard earned money on some other program. MM2 , DM , Ultima . 
even the PD version of Rogue .

ps : The  program multitasks. So you might want to get the game just to 
     rip-off the few nice pictures there are in there (a grabbit should 
     do the trick).
