Gaming Remembrance #3 - Eye of the Beholder
Introduction: Eye of the Beholder is a role-playing video game for computers and video game consoles developed by Westwood Studios. It was published by Strategic Simulations, Inc. in 1990 for the DOS operating system and later ported to the Amiga, the Sega CD, and the SNES. The Sega CD version features an exclusive soundtrack composed by Yuzo Koshiro. A full port to the Atari Lynx handheld was developed by NuFX in 1993, but never officially released.
The game had two sequels, Eye of the Beholder II: The Legend of Darkmoon, released in 1991, and Eye of the Beholder III: Assault on Myth Drannor, released in 1993. The third game, however, was not written by Westwood, who had split with SSI over artistic differences and created the Lands of Lore series.
What a game this was, I remember playing it to the max back in 1990/1991 when it first came out for the Commodore Amiga. I remember playing it still til the mid 90's and even the early 2000's. A fantastic game, similar style RPG to Dungeon Master. A difficult game that takes many many hours to finish ( I only finished it once I think)
It was darker, harder and a bit more story based than Dungeon Master, but since Dungeon Master was the first I have a soft spot for that one ha! EOTB is a great game and highly recommended. I feel like playing it again right now...
