SSI sure did pop out a lot of RPGs in 1986! This one sounds really interesting but uh, what is this control scheme:
For moving around, the game uses an odd numpad which, sadly, is not at all like the numpad currently used on Windows machines. It works as follows:
812
7 -3
654
Controls are always my biggest barrier to CRPGs, but I'll still give it a try
Annnnd nope, like usual SSI games are a bit too tedious for me, the graphics are awful in this (Atari 8-bit version), and the controls are atrocious. (Mind you, it deserves the praise it gets for its programming and cleverness, just not for me)
