Firstly, you’re going to have to deal with such abstract statistics as THAC0. The game itself also holds up very nicely too, though new players be warned – this is old school Dungeons & Dragons and that means a couple of things. It all comes together to form a very believable fantasy. Characters in the squad will talk amongst one another, and indeed bicker if they’re on different ends of the good/ evil spectrum. Thousands of lines of dialogue are delivered through this game, and none of them feel awkward or amateur. The in-game visuals haven’t been updated (the only “enhancement” in aesthetic is the cut scenes), but for all their pixilation and stiff sprite animation, the environments still hold a genuine sense of wonder, and it’s more than enough of a backdrop for the incredible scripting to come to the fore. It took me all of five minutes to realise that this game has not aged in the slightest.
