[edit] Critical reception

The game was well received when it was released; a couple of magazine reviews can be found online.

"I have been a dungeons and dragons fan for several years but there are few people who will play when I am the dungeon master. The package provides excellent entertainment to all fans of the cult and should prove a good introduction to the game.".[1]

"This cassette must be highly recommended for its versatility, originality and quality. For an avid adventure player this is definitely [sic] worth obtaining".[2]
