  This game is on my top 10 favorite list, yet it is among the games I have played the least. I do not think I have ever voted it up on a real Atari ST machine that I own. This game I always played at my best friend's house in high school, the father of my god daughters.

  The forces of Chaos are invading the Warhammer world, and only you (and three friends!) can stop them! But before you do that, your wizardly mentor is going to shut you in a dungeon to prove your worth once and for all... can you escape? Let's Play! https://youtu.be/yx744qMtTV0

  An excellent first run into the role of computer playable boards games. A little easy in places especially with all 4 characters playing. Excellent graphics and the 3D isometric views add a lot. Let down by the music dropping when SFX are used. A great game and well worth the time to complete all quests.
