I remember once I used every tile there was to completely plaster every space on the map, aaaaand… the game crashed when I wanted to play it. That was too much for my good old 386 to handle.

But making maps was a blast!

Have fun! I sure did back then, and when I replayed the remaster.

One tip: Somewhere in the sewers (I don’t remember which level) is a field where you encounter lots of enemies (20 or more?). They respawn when you change levels. I used that particular spot to farm, saves you at least some time! And don’t forget the fire horn, it’s extremely powerful and can be bought usually at Garth’s!

Good memories! Thank your for this post! It put a smile on my face!

I played it on the Amstrad CPC, from cassette/tape. Saving/loading from tape took ages, so did the loading for dungeons. I have no idea how I managed to beat this game.

Do yourself a favour. Get the remastered version from gog. It’s the same game, with auto mapping and the ability to save and load whenever you want.

Or… draw maps and go to the adventurer’s guild every few minutes to save your game. And then grind, grind, grind, and grind :) Don’t bother reviving party members in the beginning, it’s too expensive!

The graphics look great, I immediately want to play it.

But I guess there is a reason I’ve never heard of that game before…

System Shock 2 or Thief: Dark Project. Those two were the games that impressed me most in my 40 years of playing games.

Honourable mention: Minecraft. The first few weeks playing that come very close.
