SwordThrust

The Good
SwordThrust improves on its predecessor Eamon in almost every conceivable way. You have more spells and more combat options available to you, such as the ability to wear more types of armor and wield two weapons at once. The adventures were also a lot more difficult and detailed, with better puzzles.

The Bad
The only problem with SwordThrust is the lack of adventures available to play. There were only 3 adventure modules written for the game, and no dungeon designer disk to allow players to design their own dungeons. So after you finished all three adventures you were stuck with nothing to do, while if you played Eamon instead, you had 20 or 30 adventures to play (a lot more were developed after 1981) and could make your own when you got bored.

The Bottom Line
SwordThrust is a fun and detailed text RPG set in a fantasy universe. With a wide variety of combat options and spells, there was a lot of game play in a small package. Too bad it didn't come with an adventure builder.
