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.
