I first picked this game quite a few years back (In the early 90's) and since then i have played through it not once but several times.

If you are a fan of old RPGs you must get your hands on a copy of Shattered Lands.

While many RPGs on PC from that period have aged terribly that certainly isn't the case here - quite the opposite. Shattered lands is just as playable as it was when it first came out. In comparison it looks and plays alot like the more modern baldur's gate PC games.

Another big plus is that compatibility with newer PCs doesn't seem to be a problem. I've played the game without issue and without any customization of my computers settings. (The game is XP compatible)

Check it out.

When I was able to play it five years ago it was fantastic, but I have Windows XP (on a NEW computer btw) now and I can NOT play this game any more.

This is still a good game it was the first they added Psionics to (which I didn't really care for) and I don't see a mage catagorey anymore but it plays like the old games which I do like just requires a third party product like DOSBOX to make it run under XP; this is not for a typical user it requires some technical expertise to use if you are comfortable with DOS or Lynx then you should be able to set this up and play any of these old games using it.

I remember purchasing this game cheap in the early 90's. You used to go into Radio Shack and see these displays of SSI AD&D games. I believe it was 1995 when I saw it was inexpensive and decided to give it a try. I paid $5 (if I remember correctly) then and was rather impressed. The graphics are excellent for the time and the game play extremely well done. I think my only real complaint is I was a moron and used to pick up the broken jars which I don't believe do anything and just take up space in your inventory.
