Premise: Duke Hector Barrik, beseiged in his castle by a vicious goblin army, is musing over his demise. "Let the bards praise our courage," he says just as battle is about to be joined. Suddenly, the earth trembles and the sky rips open. Man and goblin alike are sucked into a bottomless void. When everyone's senses return to normal, they find that the castle, its folk, and the goblins have all been transported to the bottom of a deep and wide valley surrounded on all sides by impossibly high cliffs. The Duke decides to act before the goblins recover, and sends for four of his best people to scout their new home. "The gods have given us a second chance," he tells them. "Serve me well, bring us allies, and you will be richly rewarded." Based on the popular role-playing game created by Gary Gygax.
Impressions: An Ultima-style RPG set within the now-famous fantasy game. No, not really - it's actually a better-than-average Japanese RPG retooled with AD&D graphics and names. Not bad, but not great, either - and not worth the trouble considering that Ultima 7 is a far better game and available for the Genesis as well.
Variations: Arosohtrau (Japanese original)
Recommended Emu: Genecyst X
