I still have the box with its cheesy cover art. A tablet with alien text in front of some weird purple background with all this junk surrounding it.

Until I found DosBox I only recently played it.

Haven't really got anywhere since I didn't really have attention for it but it has quite a reputation and I might cave in soon enough to spend a little more time with it.

@Boilerplate - I've played Wizards & Warriors, flawed but good, the character creation is a bit iffy in my opinion though.

I have the box too, but it's a bit damaged =[

i'm just glad i still have the manual, otherwise the whole "turn to page XX and enter the Xth word in X paragraph, line X" thing would be real tough to get around.

I remember this, many hours spent and I still never completed it :(

[bohemiozzz]

But now exists! Use an emulator of DOS and use the tips of one of the MANY webs with solutions for this game!

That is what I am doing just right now... 8))))

[JagedNS]

I still have this game in the original box LOL

[floooble3]

Best game of all time.

Lmao, I started playing it since I was like, 8. Finally beat it at 17. Many, many different parties until I finally beat this masterpiece.

Oh, and I didn't even vanquish all of the Gorrors. I got them all except that damn Beast with 1000 Eyes.

Repeatedly clicking and using the speed up in DOSBOX really helps this haha

@boilerplate "ever play wizards & Warriors? I wrote the first FAQ for that on gamefaqs"

nice.

[CrackaStoleMyBoat]

also good job forcing the player to watch a seven minute unskippable cutscene before they even begin the game. every time they start a new game. even if they beat it before. there's probably people who can recite this intro by memory alone because of that.

the dark savants ship looks like a big metal alien willy

Spacehips?

[ActionCarl]

Evil dude comes riding in on a spaceship full of robots and we're gonna fight his ass with swords and chainmail, brilliant.

@astpierre9 - it's not true people didn't buy them - at the time RPG was the number genre in any poll taken buy the likes of Computer Gaming World magazine, etc. They could be again, if companies made them any more. Now we get action games like Mass Effect and Jade Empire as RPG's....!
