Oh man this is the game of my teen years. I absolutely loved it then. The funny thing is, I never managed to get above lvl 1, (b/c was new to the whole RPG and D&D thing) and now I got this running on my modded PSP and PC Gens emulator and it looks and sounds amazing. Still SO much fun after all those years.

After this, I’m playing Exult Ultima VII, runs great on Vista!! Now that’s a classic masterpiece. BG and SI!! You can get it free at sites like Abandonia.

I was playing this recently (I still like this game) and I decided to play 4 thieves, for a challenge. I discovered that thieves are *not* as useless as you might believe. For instance, if you’re hidden when you enter a dungeon, you stay hidden, and do double damage as long as you’re down there. Also, they make that annoying Azcan pyramid much, much easier with their trap-finding skills.

Having had the benefit of owning the box set upon which this game is based, I can tell you the game doesn’t make sense unless you own the box set. This strange new world the game has you in? It is the inside of the planet, the Hollow World.

Those elves in the game aren’t drow, in fact they aren’t really dark elves at all, although they are evil underground elves. They aren’t especially powerful. Of course, there was no way to know that unless you had the aforementioned box set.

Also knowing the box set allowed me to anticipate how the endgame would work, since both Ka and the Burrower are far greater powers than mere mortals.

classic…I didn’t know westwood was responsible for this game nor Frank did the music on this (me being a devoted C&C fan)..such a gem to know I loved their early work as well as I did the latter.

I don’t know, the end was (and still is) a major let down, also the fact that you can kill drow with normal slings should say something about how silly the dungeon system is.

It would have been better if the game over screen said, “Rocks fall, everybody dies!”
