This RPG was excellent when it came out. I still remember that the cut scene at the beginning was state of the art when it came out. It is a step by step dungeon crawler like the the old Bard's Tale games. It however does include automapping and the creatures roam about. I loved the humor in this game - very Monty Pythonesque. I introduced my sons to it as well and they are enjoying it as well. The graphics although blocky still carries the game well. Thanks to GOG for providing me again with this classic ... as I used to have the original but it was lost to me long ago when I borrowed it to a friend and our ties broke.
