My first CRPG (played it on the Amiga), I enjoyed it immensely to run around in that city. I remember hating the slow text based fighting reports though, especially when I attacked some 100 skeletons and for minutes the messages started scrolling down:
A skeleton swings at you and misses...
A skeleton swings at you and misses...
A skeleton swings at you and misses...
ad infinitum... |

Can I rate a game on pure nostalgia value? You bet I can. If it came out today it would be a one, but many of todays 8s and 9s have Bard's Tale as a progenitor. |

My very first RPG. Compared to today's games, the graphics are crap, BUT when objectively rating a game you must consider the tiem frame alogn with it. For its day, the graphics were standard/good, the gameplay however was really great. This will alwasy be one of my favorite/most memerable CRPGs. |

1st RPG I ever played... and it got me hooked for life!
I remember staying up all night playing this game.... and even breaking into my best-friends bedroom (he had the pc, not me:p) to play when he wasn't around.
This game started it all IMHO |

Its the animated colour 3D towns, the way guilds are used, and especially the MUSIC which make this game a great improvement over Wizardry. Only drawback is its limit to one towne: Skara Brae. |

Game had good graphics for its time. Brings back memories, but not all good. Hated repititous combat, and slow text along with it. Story was adequate, but not great. The feeling of immersiveness was almost there, but the game was lacking something that some of the better games of that time had. |

At the time it was the best thing going... but going back to play it again I found it hadn't aged as well as similar games. |

a classic of the time (while not the first to hae that 3D view - the first to do it in COLOR). however the gameplay does get a bit stagnat at times. but the game balance was decent and the puzzles for the most part fun |

A classic. Skara Brae, I spent a lot of time in that city. Obviously, dated graphics now. |

Loved it on the Commodore 64 at the time. Simple but enjoyable, as long as you enjoy drawing maps. Plan to replay it soon. |

This was my first encounter with the RPG genre. It was like I entered a whole new world of computing. I played the whole series. All the new things I saw made this game one of my all time favourites. |

Far from perfect, even in its day, but it had some of the best graphics at the time, and the town and dungeons seemed eerily realistic back in the day even though they're almost laughable now. |

The first RPG I ever played, and i still play it to this day. Dated by some of the other games in my library, but by far one of my favorites. |

Out of a nostalgic view a pure 10. This game made me addicted to computer games in particulary RPGs for more than 15 years ago. |
