Ahhh..Darklands...Yes I seem to remember it... :)

I thought it was a nice game...with a few problems. Don't
even *consider* taking it unless it has a patch disk to 
go w/ it! There were *wild* problems w/ the original release.
I think that the game was nice...I would have liked more magic,
but the alchemy is a reasonable facimile. I *really* enjoyed the
combat system and the background scenes. Instead of slow animated
characters wandering through the world, you are basically in a
text adventure over nice backdrops...Until you enter a dungeon or
some other battle situation. I thought the quests were nice, if a bit
repetitve. I personally enjoyed (and still occasionly enjoy) the
game thouroghly, and if you have a shot at it a a good price,
go for it.
