This being one of my earliest memories of PC games (well apart from frogger) and it also the best straight from board to pc conversions. This game was made by Gremlin who also made other classics like Zool.
The graphics of this game were brilliant for the time it came out and the side on angle adds a nice touch to it, I would say that the graphics are still excellent even when compared with today’s games.
This game is excellent for those that are awful at making up stories and quests as it has a complete set of maps already set up and ready to go, the controls are easy and it doesn’t take much skill to complete each map but can be a real pain if you try to completely clear it.

map but can be a real pain if you try to completely clear it. There is also a save feature so you do not have to start a new character each time you play There are 4 different playable characters, which can all be played at the same time. The strong Barbarian, the tough Dwarf, the agile Elf or the magical wizard. The only objective to each level that you must do is to enter the stairs which is in one of the rooms, though there are other objectives are you supposed to do.
It might be just me but any sounds that can be accurately reproduced using something like a SNES or Sega genesis get on my nerves rather quickly and as such I always played with as little sound as possible.
The game has a nice replay factor that you can do each dungeon again and play each character multiple times while saving each one but once your character gets all the equipment from the shop it starts getting really repetitive and soon looses its appeal.
A nice game, some of my best memories are sitting at a pc with my brother and dad playing this game. Very good for when it came out but would expect a whole lot more from it if it was remade.
