Damn that was a great computer game! Funny how time makes those graphics look so shitty. I remember playing that game over and over thinking how great the graphics were. Alas alak.

Yes, the game made me develop high hopes from the book.....which was a joke.
The game itself was awesome and i still play it once in a while.
My current Team:
(Fighter, Fighter, Cleric, Thief, Thief, and the sickly green skinned chap with the pink dress and pink pointy hat would be my Magicuser...of course)...

Heh ;) that toon looks almost like the manga toons we start to see in BG with pink , purple and yellow hair....

Anyhow, good trick in the beginning of the game is to hire "Hero" (4th level fighter) from the town hall, then attack and kill him during one of the encounters(they are evil scums anyhow), you'll get +1 plate and two handed sword which you can sell to buy stuff for the rest of the group, repeat the process until all the group is set ;)

Also , you can edit the abilities of the characters with hex editor to raise them up to 25(.dat files), leave constitution at 19 because once you get manual of tome you can raise it to 20 and get regeneration, make the game somewhat easier.

Talking about stats , it's still funny to see how chauvinistic ad&d 1st ed. was....with female limitation of strength score, max strength for female elf was 17??? lol.
