- I wouldst recommend the entire ULTIMA series to thee since that is without
- a doubt the greatest CRPG series ever. BUT since thou art obviously a
- hack-and-slasher **grin**, thou might find the AD&D Gold Box line more to
- thy taste. 80% of it is bashing monsters, and it follows the AD&D rules
- quite closely. Graphics and sound art adequate for this series, but if
- thou insist on superb graphics and sound, then the AD&D Legends series
- (Eye of the Beholder and The Legend of Darkmoon) wilt be my recommendations.
