Classic Review - The Elder Scrolls: Arena

In another review, I take a look back at the original Elder Scrolls, the one that spawned Daggerfall, Morrowind, and Oblivion.

I had a little bit of a sound error towards the end. Sorry about that.

ESRB Rating: Teen (13+) - Animated Violence, Animated Blood and Gore

not free,you have to pay for the software to download it

[DWTerminator]

TES:A is freeware. DOSBox (what you need to run it on modern systems) is also freeware. This means "you don't need to pay for it."

[WarPigsPaintball]

you should problably take into account that this game came out A LONG time ago and dosent meet the standards for games even 3 years ago

[DWTerminator]

It wasn't particularly good even for the time.

[LegoNerfMarksman]

is this game really free? or is it just a torrent?

[DWTerminator]

It was released as freeware in 2004 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Elder Scrolls.

[DWTerminator]

1998 was not before 1994.

I suppose next you'll tell me Playstation 3 was the first video game console, Modern Warfare 3 is the first Call of Duty game, and the United States existed before the British Empire.

you know whats ironic is half of the commenters have only played oblivion and skyrim and never played any other elder scrolls and yet they critize an old great game

[Baumfelds]

Daggerfall is free too!!! Just checked h ttp://w ww.elderscrolls.co m/arena/ and h ttp://w ww.elderscrolls.co m/daggerfall/ (no spaces)

[Baumfelds]

wow! Weird seeing the start of this great saga... If it's free, I'll check it out right now! ( Started with Morrowind. Need to check Daggerfall sometime...)

OMFG THIS HAS GOT TO BE THE MOST FUNNY GAME I HAVE EVER SEEN! JUST LOOK AT SKYRIM LOL!!!

[OriginalityNazi]

Personally, I found the combat in Arena and Daggerfall to be rather clunky but honestly I think that Arena is a very good game and deserves much praise. Also, Skyrim is awesome and I'm very tired of reading these anti-skyrim rants, its a very good game and it drew a lot of people to the Elder Scrolls series.

Why is everyone saying this game was so good for the 90's if they haven't even played it? You act like the 90's were the stoneage, you ignorant 10-year-olds. It wasn;t that good of a game. stop sucking cock and start swallowing the white creamy truth.

This is fucking awesome for when it was made. How can you possibly give this game shit in the review? To review this game on the basis that it dosent run like obliv/sky is really weak imo.
