First Video in the Series:
A year after this game was released for IBM, it was ported to the Amiga. No surprise to many, the sound was superior. What was surprising was that the graphics were not. The graphics were based on the old ECS chip, and didn't utilize the more advanced AGA chip at all. Fast forward to 2006. A programmer named CFou! refurbished the game with 256-color graphics from the IBM version. In essence, here is the game in all it's AGA glory. There's also an automap. Let's kill us some monsters! ;)

• I remember when disk drives sounded like that
• Wow, I love that you're playing the Amiga version of this
game! It makes a nice change from the usual SNES or PC playthroughs you
find on YouTube.
I found this from searching for blind LPs, and have always been
fascinated by the style of these kinds of games, but I've only ever
played Undercroft on iOS... older games like these feel too intimidating
for me. That's why I love blind LPs, I get to see everything the game has to offer, without committing to any frustration myself. :D
• I like the fact you are playing this old game. I've played it
considerably myself. I hope you enjoy it, I remember it being very hard
later on!
• Thank you for this Let's Play. EOB is rarely done, and it has never been done blind. I'm already loving it... :-)
• oh yeah. no maps on those style games is chore. i remember playing
warriors of the eternal sun and trying to map it all on homemade graph
paper. lol.
• This game started my fear of all D&D spiders also. Baldurs Gate helped not at all to alleviate that.
• I find myself talking, giving you advise and wonder about
your spear fetish but you never seem to hear me. I have that effect on
women.. Really though I have watched the whole series up to this point and am
enjoying it. I do wonder why you dont keep a useful scroll handy in
Goldmoon's weapon slot since she cant smack anything with her mace.
Starting to view this episode now, plan on watching your other series
when I finish this one. Thank you for doing these play through videos!
• All the Drow look like Hulk Hogan, all that is missing are them wearing the Hulk-A-Maniac tear away shirts and his theme music.
• 4 day watching marathon complete! Watched each episode and enjoyed it
very much. Good job on defeating the game and thank you for doing this
Lets Play series!
