This fantasy role-playing game is pretty good for the price, and for it's size. Compared to the role-playing games of today, the graphics are a little childish; however, even the early Forgotten Realms, and Dragonlance games had childish graphics. While playing, 'h' will bring up the help menu; 'l'=load [as in previous game], 's'=save, 'z' shows your character's stats, escape key quits, and that's about it. The most important thing to remember is by reading the manual.doc and readme file inside the folder; you discover not to try to play the game from dark ages.exe. You MUST start the game from DAStart.bat, or the game will mess up.

Space bar converse's with any character you approach, and the other characters tell you what to do and where to go. If you're already a gamer, this will still keep your interest; and if you've never tried this kind of game; give it a try! The price is right!
