This is one of the games i played most on the Amiga 500 back in the day. We used to have 4lpayer hotseat matches lasting for days. Good times,- and such a great game. In fact, i think ill check it out, only been 16 years or so :D

Behold, the masterpiece of all D&D computer games!



I remember thinking the instruction manual was awesome, I spent more time reading it than actualy playing the game.

I enjoyed this one in the early 90s.
Spoiler: In the last scene of the game the three stooges show up, ensuring that your quest is truly a glorious one indeed! Nyaaaa!!

Dang, you guys are ancient.

Here are a few that stand out:










I suppose I ain't no 'spring chicken' anymore either.

Are the childrens going to have the same nostalgia for today's video games that we have for the games of our day? These days it seems the developers spend 5 years on the graphics and a week on the gameplay, story, or both.
