I know the sellers won't appreciate this but as of this date October 18th 2010, Bethesda is giving this game Elder Scrolls Daggerfall as well as Elder Scrolls Arena for FREE on their website [...]

This is a free downloaded file to be used in DOSbox which is a DOS emulator that will allow old DOS games to run under the current windows operating systems. DOSbox the emulator is also a free download. Please check this out before purchasing because these retailers are absolutely ripping people off with these super high prices for games that are 15 years old.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ground Breaking!, December 26, 2005

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: The Elder Scrolls Chapter II: Daggerfall (CD-ROM)

This game forever changed my ability to play console RPGs. I was one of those people who started with a game called Miracle Warriors on the Sega Master System and then converted to Final Fantasy when the Nintendo and Super Nintendo were released.

Imagine creating a character of your choice and then being dropped into a massive fantasy world with no boundaries. This is the element that TES - The Elder Scrolls brings to the table. You can follow the main quest or you can adventure and grow your character to the edge of godliness. There are no invisible walls or guided boundaries in your way. You can visit thousands of locations, join hundreds of guilds/factions, go on infinite quests, and create spells/magic items.

Anyway, thats a quick peek at the game. I could easily take up a hundred pages and fill them with vivid detail, but you should just buy and play it instead.

Why is a game made in 1996 selling for $70? Simple, it's totally kick a**!

Cons:
The graphics are a bit dated by todays account. Try viewing some screenshots on the web to get an idea. Think Doom style graphics.

This game can be difficult to get running on a modern machine for the novice. Often times it requires an Emulator like DosBox or heavy tweaking. In WinXP there is a bug that causes quest monsters/items to be invisible which pretty much ruins the game. There are work arounds, and it doesn't happen to everyone, but beaware of the difficulties of getting this to run. It WILL run though!

Hopefully that helps. Try: www.elderscrolls.com for more information.

This game was groundbreaking when it was released in the mid 90's. It is probably still the largest sandbox style game to this date. You are not required to follow any quest line nor do you fill a specific character role. You simply put into a world where you can do as you please. The world is HUGE! There is roughly 15,000 towns and villages with over 750,000 npc's. It has been estimated that Marrowinds world, the sequal to Daggerfall, is about 0.01% the size of Daggerfalls. I highly suggest any RPG fans, Eldar Scrolls fans, or anybody looking for an amazing game that is extremely fun and to this day does not have many titles that can compare, on top of being 14 years old, I highly suggest you go to the Eldar Scroll website and download this title. It has been free for download, legally, since summer of 2009. Enjoy they just don't make them like they used to.
