Hmm. Too old? I think not.
Age is not a valid reason for me, since along with the Bard's Tale trilogy, this 'old' SSI engine basically helped define my obsession with RPG's.
The journal aspect of those games in particular was a brilliant novelty and gave them that 'interactive novel' sensation. Respect where its deserved mate, I think, as they were quite influential for their time!
Three cheers for old-school SSI RPGness! [img]graemlins/cheers.gif[/img]
But yeah, Menzo was great too - although that was a part of the next generation of first person AD&D games which came later.
It was made after Strahd's Posession, which atmospherically, is probably my pick of the three (the other is Stone Prophet) although I did play Menzo before the both of them! It would have to be the first occurence in CRPG history where the legendary Drizzt Do'Urden can join the party!
