3.0 out of 5 stars It's alright, but there are some issues., July 5, 2003

I will review this in three parts, arranged by game.

Dungeon Hack: If you like hack and slash games and don't care about plot, this is possibly for you. The plot is this, you are recovering an item from a dungeon. That's it. You can set up the dungeon, or pick from preset settings. It can be fun, but it quickly get repetitive since the only other characters in the dungeon are the monsters.

Menzobaranzan: I played it for about five minutes. That isn't to say its that bad, its just I couldn't get it to work on my OLD (six years, at least) laptop, and decided to see if it would on my new one. The graphics aren't bad, and the game play is original. You start out with two characters, with a first person view like the Eye of the Beholder games, but with "motion" (not a screen to screen game, like myst or EOB). I didn't get into any battles, but it looks really nice. I'll update this review IF I ever play anything on my laptop but Baulders Gate etc. again.

Blood and Magic: This game is almost wonderfull. It is a strategy game which is fun except there are only a few scenerios with a few missions each. I enjoyed it somewhat, although the levels can go slowly, but I didn't feel like finishing it. It just didn't seem worth it. It doesn't have much of a storyline, and just as you start to get strong and the game gets really fun (there are EXP and items), you have to lose your progress and start on a different scenerio. If you want a strategy game, get Warcraft 3, or Starcraft or something like that.

I believe I would have enjoyed Menzoberanzan if I could have played it, but the other two games don't seem to be worth the money. I recomend Buying one of the other collections or silver edition, the games are much better and more D&D oriented.

2.0 out of 5 stars Entertaining RPG, February 9, 2000

I thought this game was good but it is also boring. You get three games and that is cool but the graphics on 2 of the games really suck and the third is just o.k. If you dont mind using the keyboard to move the guys than this game is for you and buy the game even if you don't like using the keyboard. P.S. It is entertaining.
