I played this game for the first time on Amiga computer. I guess it was my first RPG game I fall in love with. I remember it was a time when Eye Of Beholder serie was recognized as the best but honestly, I didnt like it. I valued Ishar serie much more ? Why ? Mostly because of open area. Eye of the Beholder was mostly about dungeons, while Ishar had both - beautiful open areas, cities, as well as dungeons.
I'm not sure how would I rate Ishar now - combat system, moving system looks very oldschool, but I'll always remember that Silmarils logo appear at the beginning. It's an absolute classic placed in beautiful universe and nice story.
