Somehow this is the review I keep getting back to over and over and over again. The cynical tone and the razorsharp rants are just perfect!

My favorite Spoony-review (apart from the Phantasmagoria-series of course).

Man, I sympathize with you; they don’t make that many good DnD games.
But what I can’t figure out is how you can stand to play these bad games. Doesn’t it hurt you? Deeply?

Anyway, keep rockin’ it. Love the new site design!

I have this, never beat it yet, but watching this wants to make me try it again. Those Dragonmen are annoying, but theres a trick to beatin them easy, Fire a Sleep spell at them, then hammer them to little tiny bits and your good. Those dwarfs however are that annoying, havent found an easy way to kill em

Haha, Is this a door? Ahhhh

As a major fan of Dragonlance i had heard of these games but never had i thought they would have been so EPICALLY BAD! Thank you Spoony for helping keep my sanity by showing me i should never play these games.

keep up the good work and Gratz on the nod from Yahtzee

Gods, I would kill to play a campaign with Spoons. Then again, I’m far too much of a beginner to be bothered with. And because I am, I can’t get any experience and I never get to play…. *crys lonely nerd tears*

Anyway. Beautiful one, can’t beleive I passed it over time and time again.

what a shitty game !

Not only is it one of the worst games ever gameplay wise, it’s really glitchy!

Wow that game sucked. Good review though. It’s too bad Dragon Lance doesn’t translate well outside of the books.
There is also a crappy DVD as seen here:

Fans of this series, hang your head in shame.

haha I was sitting at my computer at work doing quality control…for software nonetheless…while listening to this….no one knew I was listening to this till I got to 7:10 and let out a rampid snort out of no where…I was laughing so hard I couldn’t breathe…..”and the music never changes….nu nu nu nu NU NU NU NU NU….”

This was my second favorite review besides the ultimate review on phantasmagoria II! Hey I think i can even get away w/ listening to this at work….since I’m involved w/ the “what not to do before this software gets published” crew.

If you’ll DM sometime, I’ll get the men. We’ll bring our dice too.

I have to say I absolutely love your frustration for the game. I want to smash my monitor, that’s how frustrated I get watching you play.

What’s the intro music called? Thanks.

I remember actually TRYING to get this game when I was younger, because I loved the book series… All I can say is thank god I never found it.

*coughcoughusemagiccoughcough* Mages usually have glass chins :p

But anyway… yeah. Looks bad. Too complicated… it scares me. Me no likey complicated things, it hurts my brain.

Why is the cover art from the Legend of Huma book instead of the one from Dragons of Autum Twilight?

Yeah…..Good story- not so much a good game.
Hell, that looks downright infuriating to play.

haha… this brings back bad, bad memories of when i was maybe 7 or 8, and my older brother was into these books, so we rented this game… i remember standing on top of the random swords or bags of gold for close to an hour, freaking the hell out trying to pick the damn thing up. this was the only game i remember actually trying to return early that we had rented

That’s freaking hilarious…thanks for bringing back my childhood :)

Lol that game really looked like it sucked. A good AD&D console game is AD&D: Pool of Radiance for the NES. It basically takes the actual paper and pencil game and converts it to the console control. You roll up characters, purchase your gear, and go kick monster ass. The best part is you can play with up to four friends if you don’t mind controller passing.

I also noticed that I have the Heroes of the Lance miniatures set XD

Damn technical problems! I love this review, but it got 3/4 of the way through and then just ended. D:
WHY OH WHY

reminds me of AVGN’s Terminator review for the NES.

When you arrived at the first naked dwarf, I starting yelling at you (yeah, like you could hear me) to use Tas or Flint to kill the dwarf, only to realize that it was pointless all around because you still have to hit downwards… ugh. Why was this game made?! I’m so glad I never played it! I think I’ll stick to the books and the crappy movie they made.

That may be an odd comparison, but the music from this game sounds like “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” at some point. Or maybe that’s because I saw “Manhunter” yesterday.

This is such an atrocious game. But everything dealing with Dragonlance (outside of the books) tends to be atrocious.

They made a crappy movie too:

http://crapculture.ca/?r=article&i=78

I’m sure there’s an awful radio drama about it that no one knows about.

I dont really know why, but of all your reviews this is the one I keep comming back to. I guess its because I love that its just pure unadultered nerdrage. Well maybe I just like hearing you say “stabbin’im in the nuuts” with the horrible 8-bit beat in the background.

Oh, to pick up stuff on the ground, you need to pause the game, and use the “Take” command.

Oh, Spoony <3 This remains one of my favorite videos of yours of all time.

OMG mini naked zombie Sean Connery

I had the Amiga version of this game, and played it to completion once. It’s much, much better than this worthless PC conversion. On the other hand, I tried it again on an emulator not long ago and I couldn’t get anywhere in it.

I couldn’t stop giggling all through this review. It was fantastic.
Incidentally, have you considered doing a review of that animated Dragon Lance film that came out a while back? I’m sure it’s an obvious thing to mention and others probably already have, but on the off chance…

i think this was probably the worst game you've reviewed because the game wasn't even playable!

This review reminded me of the lamest D&D death ever. A character was down to only 2 hit points when a Brownie ran up and stabbed him in the leg. That was .. 2 hit points worth of damage. Yeah, its a shame to die by Brownie.

Sorry for the double post. You may eliminate if you want.

I feel sorry for you Spoony. I got to play Tunnels of Doom on Ye Olde Texas Instruments when I was a kid. For its time (1982), it was awesome. You should look up the game and try it-they have emulators for it.

Oh lord, I've seen better schlock for games on Kongregate. I especially cracked up when you were in the hoodie behind the game board. It looked to me like some kind of cray hobo of something.

Heh, you can actually beat this game in about ten minutes if you know the correct route.

This was the first game I ever played when I got my NES back when I was 4 years old. I had the same obsession with that massive chasm on the right side of the screen. I think I played the game for about 20minutes before I gave up. When I saw Spoony's review, now 20 years after nightmares have faded, my first thought was “That game had a menu screen?” x.x

BEWARE THE SACRILEGE!

Ah, classic old school Spoony. Just a man, a cam and a rant. Nothing fancy, just straight up low-budget planet-exploding nerd rage. You can’t hate it. You just can’t.

Never played this but going by what I saw, short guys don’t get hit by that flying shit… and going by rpg conventions, you probly wanna walk around w the thief mostly… and it makes sense wizards die easily(according to convention)… and I imagine magic would make it infinately easier if it wasn’t so poorly done…. i member seeing this at the rental place way back when and being enamored by the idea of it after enjoying faxanadu….

BTW i love your show.. phantasmagora was just so awsome!! i laughed so hard that my mouth hurt… you are great so keep on going the same way!

Wow this has to be the shittiest shit to ever come out of a game developers anus!! Fuckin TERRIBLE!!!!! I salute you Spoony!!

You know my friend created a character named Fred Lo, he is a human bard. He REALLY likes halflings….like REALLY likes. You piss her off, and you will get ass raped, by either him or one of his cousins….they ALL like one race….you can try to stop it…but it is GOING to happen….you are going to get ass raped. Sooner or later.

Oh man I LOVED the Dragonlance Chronicles and Legends books probably more then even LotR..
But when I got that game for Christmas in the early 90s jesus was that a good way to piss all over the Dragonlance name.

Forgotten Realms got cool games like the Pool of Radiance series and Dragonlance got that crap??

I admit, the game seems rather Horrid, and truth be told, I never thought they had created a game for one of my personal favorite book series. This is not how the series should be remembered. All the same, it is there.

I believe the game itself should have been a bit more turn-based, much like a DnD game itself. Leveling up the characters as such. Probably asking a bit to much, but that would have been a bit better for it.

“I’m stabbing him in the face, he is punching me in the nuts and I can’t do anything about it.” That was some epic D&D fight XD

one of the dnd computer games i would recomend is ruins of mythdranor not only does it have a series of books bout it (myth dranor) but it’s actually pretty good if you don’t mind reloading your save quit a few times   IT ACTUALLY DOES HAVE RPG you talk to people you can say different things and do differint things like there is a person behind a door that requests a item (a pretty good one) you can keep it and ignore them give it to them or if you do good you can show it to them and get them to open the door before they take it and you get a similar item from them kinda fun to k….. opps spoilers i actually never beat it my computer crashed after i completed the dungion oh and you can start with a party of 1 to 4 and there are recruitable charactors along the way like the near death fighter and the “Stoned” mage  …….. anyway HURRY YOU FOOLS and play it.
