Forgotten Realms: The Archives - Collection One

Die drei Eye of the Beholder Spiele galten nicht ohne Grund als die einflussreichsten DnD-Spiele vor dem Release von Baldur's Gate. Die Dungeon-Crawler haben bis heute eine richtig starke Atmosphäre und schaffen es immer noch, dieses klassische Abenteuergefühl rüberzubringen. Vor allem das Erkunden der Dungeons, die Kämpfe und das langsame stärker werden der Gruppe machen auch heute noch Spaß. Man merkt einfach, wie prägend diese Spiele damals waren. Absolut empfehlenswert!

It's like a clean DOSBOX implementation you could do yourself, but legal and clean and saves you a lot of trouble. My only complaint is that it is not compatible with Mac. Not because I need to play on Mac.. but because the original was not available on Mac, but was once announced as coming soon, and 11 year old me went into the computer store at the mall once a week for what seemed like an eternity asking if it had come in and the guy got so annoyed with me every time... How is it still not on Mac?!

Nostalgic memories. Hint: Conserve you Dwarven keys on level 5, you will need one for level 6.

[h3]Eye of the Beholder[/h3] A charming, first-person, grid-based, dungeon-crawler RPG. Graphics are really well-made, the little music that exists is very good. The combat starts off fun by feeling more interactive than other games at the time, and it's especially fun being able throw basically everything you own at the face of the enemies, however, it gets really tiresome in the long run to keep hitting the attack buttons and evading never stops feeling awkward. Exploring the levels are fun and thanks to the auto-mapper mod included you don't have to draw on graph paper to have an idea where you're going. On the downside, the game feels very obtuse with key items hidden beyond secret walls that's nearly impossible to find. It doesn't feel balanced at all: unless you have a specific party composition, you're making the game much harder for yourself. Having no cleric is basically super duper hard difficulty, for instance. I would have a similar complaint with some of the enemy types. Some enemies can poison you, leading you to a practical softlock if you don't have some kind of anti-poison prepared. [h3]Eye of the Beholder II[/h3] The intro cinematic has extremely good pixelart and that's pretty much where my list of positives end. EOB2 leans heavily towards making things so frustrating and nonsensical you'll want to buy a physical copy of the game just so you can throw it out the window and then set fire to your lawn while you curse the creators of this video game. There is a maze with fireballs you have to avoid and the solution includes... [spoiler]walking straight into one of the fireballs and hope you don't die[/spoiler]. There is a maze with lightning traps where the solution includes... [spoiler]walking into one of the lightning traps and hoping you don't die just before fighting a group of powerful enemies[/spoiler]. The game is filled with frustrating nonsense like the above which is a huge shame as the first one had a lot of promise. I was hoping the sequel would fix what was broken (like the occasionally obtuse level design, difficulty imbalance, and wonky UI), but the sequel fixed none of that and instead made the bad parts way worse. [h3]Eye of the Beholder III[/h3] Skipped as I heard the game wasn't very good and I wanted to run away screaming after my experience with Eye of the Beholder II.

Never played the original. This game is light and fun. I enjoyed the power-creep in the party. I did get stumped at one point in the game and wandered aimlessly in the dungeon for a few hours, but the All-Seeing Eye finally helped me figure out where to go. I love being able to import my characters from one game to the next.

Great way to experience Advanced Dungeons & Dragons: Eye of the Beholder. The game is a masterpiece, and this is a great way to play the trilogy all in one place! It even comes with a version of the all seeing eye automapping program, without the cheat functions. If you must play with cheats you will have to download the standalone version of the all seeing eye, incase you get soft locked like I did (I was on the GOG version). Just do not be a dumbass and waste all of your keys, and you will be fine. Great atmosphere also. Highly recommended classic dungeon crawler.

I had never heard of this series back in the day and this was my first time playing through. It is what it is, a classic dungeon crawler. I found it charming and fun, and i'm glad there is the automapper! Don't listen to any of the nay sayers about EotB 3 because it's more of the exact same gameplay from 1 and 2. Yes, it's on a different engine and the automapper is a bit more basic, but just take your characters you created in 1 all the way through and be the heroes of the realm! If you liked the first game, you will like all of them.

These have aged really well

The Eye of the Beholder series got me hooked on dungeon crawlers. TSR games were always great in that you could import your characters to the next game in the series and continue the adventure. The fact that the games come with the adventure guides so I no longer have to draw my own maps is awesome! This version of the game also allows you to edit your character stats upon creation, so if you find it too hard, just max your character attributes. Hint: You can set the game to use the keyboard for movement and mouse for attacking. This makes dodging enemy attacks possible. I can't remember how to do it off the top of my head, but it can be done.

Игры - в которые рубились наши предки вампиры :D Вы не можете называть себя трушным дндшником, если не пройдете эту серию и если вы думаете что сложнее Baldur's Gate 2 уже ничего не будет, то добро пожаловать в ад. Просто кайф. Если Вы современный фанат ADND, который как и Я не застали этих игр в детстве, так как родились уже после их релиза то Я очень рекомендую серию Eye of the Beholder к ознакомлению. Это настоящий челлендж старой школы и отличный экзамен на знание механик одной из самых хардкорных редакций правил ADND. Никаких подсказок - только лишь тьма и ужасы мрачных подземелий. Настоящие олд скульные приключения не прощающие вам незнания механик. На примере этих игр видишь как сильно эволюционировал жанр за последние 40 лет и настолько сильно рпг игры из крайне нишевого жанра для технарей в душных американских подвалах с кубиками, тетрадками и ручками превратились в часть современной массовой культуры став одной из визитных карточек гик комьюнити. 8/10 - бегом играть
