- I have a copy of King's Bounty. It's not really a role playing game.
- You roam around recruiting armies, chasing villains, finding magic
- artifacts, etc. There is a fairly simple treatment of magic spells,
- and a simple combat system. I haven't played POR, so I can't compare
- the two. Overall, the game is OK, but not one of my favorites. I've
- it and won a couple times, but have never gotten seriously addicted to
- it. If you're a starving student, I'd say save your money, but if you're
- out in the real world and have the bucks, it's fun. I'd give it three
- stars on a five-star scale.

- Cheers,
