Matt Barton has put up another one of his retrospective playthrough "reviews". This time, he's doing Westwood's 1990 dungeon crawling classic, Eye of the Beholder.

​

While he is very much in his element with the game's early 90s AD&D mechanics, Matt prefers the top-down turn-based style of RPGs, which take greater advantage of AD&D's complexity.

Oh, and be sure to check out the end of the review, where he goes...well, you'll see.

he goes nuts over an abbrevation. It means Rapid Access Transport System.

None of the EOB games feature anything even RESEMBLING a rat, which is kinda weird when you think about it. Dungeon Hack has Wererats, though.
