thumbnail — Title screen

thumbnail — Making a player disk

thumbnail — Starting a new game

thumbnail — A vision of a moongate

thumbnail — You spot a renaissance fair

thumbnail — The mysterious ankh gets you free admission

thumbnail — Could your fate be decided in that gypsy wagon?

thumbnail — She wears an ankh as well, what could that mean?

thumbnail — These aren't your usual tarot cards.

thumbnail — Moral decisions must be made and how you answer the questions determines what class your character will be in the game.

thumbnail — I think I'll choose Spirituality over Sacrifice.

thumbnail — Where you start in the game is determined by your choices. Spirituality is the virtue of the Ranger class, so I appear by the Ranger town of Skara Brae.

thumbnail — Exploring Skara Brae. Provisions are important to purchase as you constantly eat them during your travels. Run out and you will starve to death.

thumbnail — Shamino is the main NPC ranger. If you start as any other class you can recruit him to your party.

thumbnail — The only way off the island without a boat is to wait for a moon gate to appear.

thumbnail — I've taken the moon gate and am now lost somewhere in Brittania being chased by skeletons.

thumbnail — Combat takes place on a separate screen where you make tactical decisions.

thumbnail — I defeated the skeleton and he dropped this chest for me to loot.

thumbnail — Traveling through a mountain pass. Rough terrain such as hills and forests take slow your movement.

thumbnail — Snakes are bad news for a low level character. I've been poisoned and continue losing health even after the snake is dead.

thumbnail — I succumbed to the poison and died, but thankfully Lord British has brought me back from the void.

thumbnail — The prison in Lord British's castle has monsters and miscreants behind bars.

thumbnail — Just outside the castle of Lord British. You can see the nearby town of Britain to the Northwest.

thumbnail — Iolo the jester joins my party. One NPC of every class aside from your own can join your party.

thumbnail — Intro: taking a stroll one day, you discover something...

thumbnail — Intro: you meet a mysterious gypsy woman

thumbnail — Character generation: answer a series of ethical questions to determine your class, stats, and starting location

thumbnail — And the adventure begins!..

thumbnail — Early in the game - you are lonely, penniless, and weak. But look, nearby is a town, and in front of you is a moongate!..

thumbnail — Lord British is looking good as usual

thumbnail — Ambush! Time to see if those exercise videos have paid off...

thumbnail — A full party is camping

thumbnail — Magic gems are very helpful, showing you a rough map of the surroundings

thumbnail — Ship battle! Just shoot your projectiles at those aquatic monsters

thumbnail — All kinds of things can happen in this game. That includes being stranded on a tiny island with a treasure chest, poisoned, with monsters swimming around, and a frigate

thumbnail — You attempt to learn more about certain aspects of human activity from this ordinary guard. Sadly, he doesn't seem to be an expert in the topic

thumbnail — Prison in Lord British's castle. Human rights abuse, you punk!..

thumbnail — Standing right outside the castle of Lord British - the capital and center of Britannia

thumbnail — What I need is some instant noodles with Harbin sausage and perhaps a bottle of vodka. You know... for the travel and all. Not for me, for Dupre, see

thumbnail — Talking to some kids in one of the game's several regularly-sized towns. They all look pretty much alike. Both towns and kids, I mean

thumbnail — You've attacked an innocent child! That's it, you lose an eighth of your spiritual progress! Really!..

thumbnail — Errrr... I'm not sure this is a battle you should strive to win

thumbnail — Fighting somewhat comically-looking green monsters in a mountainous area

thumbnail — Battle in a forest clearing against some gay dudes. No, seriously, look at the color of their shirts!..

thumbnail — Browsing the wares in one of the game's weapon shops

thumbnail — Battle in a poisonous swamp! You retreat hastily

thumbnail — This is the Empath Abbey. Both its rulers, male and female, look just like you. They don't talk much, either

thumbnail — You can suddenly meet tougher enemies on the overworld. Look, there are dragons and some weird monster with them...

thumbnail — Buy horses in Paws! In a town with such a name, you'd expect to be able to buy cats...

thumbnail — Battle on a bridge! You... shall... not... pass!!..

thumbnail — You wandered this far to discover... a dungeon entrance!

thumbnail — Dungeon exploration! Near a descending ladder. In front is a suspiciously-looking field

thumbnail — You've found a magical ball! Touch it and see what happens!..

thumbnail — Dungeon battle against disturbingly swastika-like spiders

thumbnail — Enemies appear in front of you in dungeons. One step further and you'll be taken to a regular battle screen

thumbnail — Not all dungeon rooms are dedicated fully to battles. Here is one little dragon stuck between treasure chests. The question is, how do you get to them?..

thumbnail — A battle between two human parties. Who will prevail?..

thumbnail — Uh-oh... this can't be good. Those tough demons cast a spell on me!..

thumbnail — Found a treasure chest in a dungeon! And what's that behind?..

thumbnail — Battle terrain may vary. Be careful where you step!.. Opening spellcasting interface

thumbnail — You explore a tough-to-reach, very dangerous area late in the game. You are close, Avatar!..

thumbnail — You've reached what appears to be a ship graveyard...

thumbnail — Ghosts are lurking in the corners...

thumbnail — Weird creatures attack in one of the game's later battles. One of my characters is asleep...

thumbnail — behind the "Prison" shield there are some weird fields

thumbnail — Lord British might be an enlightened monarch, but the condition of his prison would terrify modern human rights activists
