Just basically a bunch of caves - some with weak monsters, some with medium strength and some that are harder. Kinda like an outdoor version of the Dungeon Boardgame. Keep your Hero and Elf to the Kitchen, Guard Room and Armory and let the Wizard & Superhero venture to the Wizard's Treasure Room, King's Library and Torture Chamber.

Not an original choice, but c'mon, the ONLY choice...DL1-16 and all the crap it spawned later....I plowed through the whole damn series hoping against hope for the oft-hinted at Tika/Laurana XXX girl-on-girl action...no such luck at least there never was a movie, although casting wise Brigitte Neilsen as Caramon and Gary Coleman as Raistlin might be just what the Doc ordered to rejuvenate their sagging careers....

Keep looking....

So Frank Mentzer was only telling us half the story, then?hehehe sounds like a fun item to get hold of someday sorry but i DID like the dungeon in DL1 and DL4 for me was pretty good - that mod worked out for me cos i pretty much ignored all the books prodding of "you need to do this and that etc" and the mod panned out just fine.

My listing of these on the list was more for the series as a whole and the way it tried to slap the plot handcuffs and turn everything in a redo of the original trilogy.Mike B.
