4.0 out of 5 stars For those who understand what they are getting, June 1, 2011

This review is from: Interplay's 10 Year Anthology Classic Collection (CD-ROM)

I had this set probably ten years ago. Played most of the games on it. There are a few I considered dubs (I was never thrilled with Castles and found Battle Chess was only fun at age seven) The others were all absolute gems.

This is all only true if you understand what you are getting into. Mindshadow was first released in 1985 and while it is an excellent game for the era if you aren't prepared for the reality of text based gaming you won't ever appreciate the fun. It also requires that you understand how to get a dos base game to work. If you don't understand what I am talking about you are better off just moving along.

Every other game besides the first two was an absolute classic containing untold hours of fun and exploration. If you want better full reviews on all those games I suggest you check out Moby Games or just google the reviews on each.

What you are getting:

Mindshadow
Tass Times in Tonetown
The Bard's Tale
Battle Chess
Wasteland
Dragon Wars
Castles
J.R.R. Tolkein's The Lord of the Rings, Vol. I
Star Trek: 25th Anniversary
Out of this World
