The 3d graphics were way ahead of its time. The game play is very unrestrictive and free roaming, with an extremely large world to explore. This game has many aspects that keep players coming back. Many side quests to supplement the main, and very strong I might add, storyline. This game implemented an amazing lock-chest system in which you are required to guess riddles to unlock some chests, as well as the usual locks and traps. This game also features sleeping, eating as well as an in depth combat system consisting of range magic and hand to hand combat, coupled with various poisons etc. The characters are well...characters. From the shady thieves, to the fanatic religious men. Simply put, this 1993 RPG is enjoyable, featuring multiple ways to complete quests, a large world to explore as well as enough diversity and side-quests to keep players coming back for more. Ive run into multiple fans even today who will still sometimes dust off the old box and play. While the graphics today may seem to some "unacceptable". Players from back in the day remember the "great graphics" from back then and we still see them as such. The music... well great music will always be great. A fan of the book or not, its definitely worth trying if you can handle the primitive graphics. As with most old games people who did not play them back in the day will find them hard to look at. This game was made freeware to promote the sequel return to krondor, which was disappointing, and lacked everything good about the original. Personally, they could have made the new one freeware and the original $50, and I would have been willing to go back and buy the original had I not already owned it. In the end for me this game was, and still is the greatest RPG experience, and my favorite rpg of all time.Read full review
Great classic RPG, worth getting for anyone who loves old school RPGs. Story is amazing from an excellent fantasy author.

I played the game when i was a kid and found my old copy destroyed, so i decided to buy aother one online and i got it for a good price. The graphics are not the bst butit has the best game play, other than Final Fantasy 7, that i've evr played.
A fun old game. The support is great. Runs smoothly in DOSBox. Not all the way through it yet, but enjoying my time with it.
