Summary

This is the one I wish I still had!

The Good

Below the Root was absolutely enchanting. I played this on my Commodore 64 computer, and was totally into it. The game included a cool fold-out map where you could plot out your movement in the game environment. Like someone else, I was never able to finish it. I got to a certain part "below the root" where I couldn't progress any further.

After moving on to the IBM environment, I got rid of all my Commodore stuff. Now that I've repurchased a Commodore 64 on ebay, I would love to get a hold of this game again!

Very warm and fuzzy memories from my childhood.

The Bad

Difficult to complete the entire game.

The Bottom Line

This game really made you think your way through, while providing a great background fantasy/myth world within which to play. It was a lot of fun, as I remember it.
