Eye of the Beholder was a major revelation in its day. It was the first D&D game to put the entire experience in a full, first-person perspective. It was also the first SSI game to be entirely VGA, meaning it had the most extraordinary graphics of any D&D game to date. You played a party of adventurers exploring 3D dungeons underneath the Forgotten Realms city of Waterdeep in a rather generic "Kill Foozle" plot that would never win any writing awards. The fun part, though, was game's sense of immersion. Players fought monsters via a novel point-and-click interface, and monsters didn't just sit around waiting for you to show up, they actually tracked you down and would frequently hit you from behind. The game wasn't perfect, of course. It had some interface issues and only one save game slot, and it came on five floppy disks that took a long time to install. The game was also infamous for having a horrible ending. After players defeated the beholder, the game just dropped them to a screen with a few lines of congratulatory text. Despite those issues, though, most players found the game well worth the effort.
