![]() Game Runs very well, somehow the game thinks that there is no vga support for your computer, but don't bothert it runs in vga very well. VGA detection works fine on EOB1 (DosBox 0.65)Įye of the Beholder 1 from Dosnox 0.61 ( 12:55) I cant believe eye of the beholder is on here.MY GOD the memories The installer never finds it and the game defaults to soundblaster midi. My Roland MT-32 does not work with Eye 3. Sorry about that.Įye of the Beholder 3 and the Roland MT-32 ( 12:59) I switched it back and now everything is fine. I updated my sound card drivers earlier today and it switched my midi output on me in the control panel. Ok it actually works fine with the MT-32. Contrast that to a full soundtrack for MM3 on MT32/Sound Blaster.Eye of the Beholder 3 and the Roland MT-32 **UPDATE** ( 13:15) It's hard to take those reviewers seriously though considering EOB1 had the highest score for music when it only had like two tracks (intro and character creation) and they were Adlib. EOB I and II were both released that year. Scans of the reviews are available on Yeah turns out they were the same year, after all. PiercedEye: I do not have exact release dates, only months of reviews by Computer Magazines. On the plus size he mentioned better cutscenes and more story. ![]() The reviewer critized some bugs like respawning monsters where there were not supposed to respawn and the experience level cap. The two critics gave favorable marks for the good graphics, but criticized the simple playing effort (only running around, killing monsters) and the fact that it was in principle a rip-off from Dungeon MasterĮye of the Beholder 2 was reviewed in issue 3/92 of the Power Play magazine with 82% overall score, 80% graphics and 68% music. The same issue also seems to have had a preview on Eye of the Beholder 2 (at least it is mentioned on the cover).Īlso, this issue had the 6th part of a walkthrough for Eye of the Beholder and a review for Pools of Darkness.Įye of the Beholder got the marks 79% overall, 82% graphics, 74% music in the issue 5/91 of the Power Play magazine. Some will use the mouse, 'Alt' ,'Enter' and 'Space bar'. The German magazine "Power Play" (closed down in 2001, I believe) ran a review of Might & Magic III (PC version, Amiga followed about 6 months later) in their December issue of 1991 and gave it 84% overall score (79% for graphics, 73% for music). Eye of the Beholder Game Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. I do not have exact release dates, only months of reviews by Computer Magazines. One is a real time dungeon crawler, the other is a turn based (althought with combat so simplified it could just as well have been real time) open world game. ![]() MM3 is a better game IMO (or has at least aged much better), but it suffered from a disappointingly simplified combat system compared to the more tactical combat in MM1-2.īut it's hard to compare the two games directly. But in EoB you are forced to use the "two step dance" even againts Kobolds.ĮoB was definitely not considered "meh" when released, but was IIRC a greater financial success for SSI than their turn based Gold Box games were. In turn based AD&D game your armoured fighters can go toe-to-toe with low level enemies with not much risk of being hit. But trying to replay it some years ago, I realized that shoehorning the AD&D system into a DM clone was not a good idea, and the combat didn't feel right. I liked EoB back then, although it was in most respects a decline compared to Dungeon Master and Chaos Strikes Back, although it had some novelties like more varied dungeon graphics, recruitable NPCs and general NPC interaction. ![]()
