167: Eye of the Beholder

Number 167
(16.4 points)
Eye of the Beholder
1992: 19

Dungeons & Dragons returns after Pool of Radiance, with a Dungeon Master flavour.

Choose a party of four, and venture through caverns beneath a city after being trapped inside. Slay monsters, collect items and make your way further through the maze-like dungeons. If this all sounds familiar, that's because Dungeon Master works almost exactly the same way, and did so several years prior. That made number 16 in 1991, and this made number 19 in 1992. It's quite possible that there was a simple exchange here, but both games certainly deserve attention.

As with the aforementioned dungeon crawling game, I'm not the best person to talk to about this kind of thing. It looks nicer than DM, and maybe there are some improved features, but it's not a game I'm going to go running to very soon.
