	'Pool of Radiance' and the followup 'Curse of the Azure Bonds' both
are essentially quick ports to the Amiga from the IBM version.  I have played
both and agree that the user interface is lacking.

	If you want to play a good TSR game that has been completely Amiga'ized
(graphics, sound, mouse, etc.) try 'Champions of Krynn'.  Check out the neat
demo mode in the store; I assume you'll be suitably impressed.
