The second EotB is a masterpiece actually and something I truly enjoyed finally beating. I have terrifying memories of fleeing from some of the monsters in that game! 
There's some great riddles too, IIRC.
I never did finish EotB III however, which was always a huge disappointment for me. It just didn't quite have the same magical sense of wonder and exploration about it that the first two did.
Then of course the would-be EotB IV engine was made into Lands of Lore which was also brilliant. And rest as they say is history. Sadly, there are very few - if any games made with this particular style of gameplay anymore.
What kind of party have you gone for, Elfbane?
P.S:
Hey Ziroc, I still collect C64 stuff  |
I created fighter, fighter-thief, cleric, and mage. I have no idea how the game "leans",,,,,, will a 1/2 thief be enough thief? Is a cleric needed? I'll just play it out and see what happens!
BTW, I really like this version of DosBox. I had played around with it in the past, but the older versions seemed to always have sound issues with the games I wanted to play.
Oh! I liked LoL also!
