I think it suffered from having too many new ideas and not enough focus. The outside bits of the game were very atmospheric though. DM II, however, was about the most disappointing game I ever played The shops/currency system, the maps and the annoying mechanical drones, plus a definite decline in the difficulty of puzzles were a drag for me. Moved on to all 3 EOB games on my Amiga dabbled a little in turn based variants like M&M and the excellent Shining in the Darkness on the Megadrive but never really saw anything like EOB/DM until Grimrock - I hope this means there's a revival of "flickscreen" dungeon crawlers coming soon Played DM first, then CSB, both on the Atari ST. I've got 4 years to go before I catch up with you. well, not made by Westwood, and a pale imitation of the former games, sadly. EOTB suffered a little from being relatively short, as that brought a steep difficulty curve in places - some of the enemies were incredibly hard to defeat, even when dancing around like a maniac EOTB2 was longer and better, sporting a huge map split over multiple sections, and a central "hub" that connected them. I personally feel that LoG resembles EOTB more than DM, but that might just be because I spent more time with the EOTB series. Fantastic games, and I preferred the EOTB series - it had a little more when it came to mechanics, bringing some excellent stuff from D&D.

Thats too bad, because otherwise Eye of the Beholder is a fun. As good as they are, they do have limitations that grate a little after all this time. Throw in a map thats basically just two dots on a huge grid and confusion is the result. My love for EOTB (1 and 2) is definitely my reason for buying LoG - and IMO, AH have done an awesome job of dragging those games into the modern day A nice balance of old-school nostalgia, without the drawbacks of re-visiting those titles. in 0.I played DM first, and then the EOTB games - all on the Amiga 500 back in the day I think I probably played them all when EOTB1 was released, so technically retro-played DM.
