Do you mean the Descent into Undermountain game? I never actually saw more than a mention of it on the Forgotten Realms Archives collection....it was printed as being on the CD but I dont think they actually put it on  |

Yes Rad,my bad. Descent into Undermountain is correct.I finally got a copy of it and should recieve soon.I think there are more copies of the game left at "Half.com". |

| No problem Rad,I just hope I don't have to get an old computer(something other than windows XP to run it.)to be able to play it. |

| Well, the original Eye of the Beholder works with WinXP, so you shouldn't have a problem, at least on that front. |

Unfortunately, Descent into Undermountain is the only Realms-related CRPG that I have never played. I purchased a copy some days after it's first release, but due to the OS changes I had made to my (then) only computer (for a programming assignment), I was never able to get it to work properly. After some time, I had forgotten about the game completely.
Eventually BG was released, and I put DiU to the wayside. I guess now that I have multiple systems (one of which is pre-586), it would be worth while trying to run it again...

Sure Sage,You should try it.I am so looking forward to getting it.I will let you know what I think of it but I would love to hear from others who have played it.Waterdeep has always been a city that has always fascinated me including Undermountian and yet I never got to play a pc game about it thats been out since,well I don't know!
If the box is in decent shape(got it at half.com)I may donate a picture to "Candlekeep" since the one in the library doesn't have one. |

okay it isn't going to be easy for me to run it.Its win95 compatible,
but it is a dos game.I am not reconfig. the whole computer to run this one game but I may put together an old one and try it.
Looking through the manual is great.They had some good ideas.
The 6 playable races:Human/Half-Elf,Elf/Drow/Dwarf/Halfling
The classes:fighter/mage/priest/thief (all can advance to lvl 12 and the thief to lvl 14.{Fighters,Thiefs and Priest can be any race/only Humans and Elfs can be mages.}
Alignment:LG/NG/CG/LN/TN/CN,no evil alignments.(I was surprized)
Monsters:Bane Guard,Giant Bats,Giant Beetles,Beholder,
Dragons,Gargoyle,Ghast,Ghoul,Goblins,KoBolds,Lich,Fire Mephit,
Ice Mephit,Lightning Mephit,Mummies,Ogre,Orcs,Giant Rats,Shadow Fiend,
skeletons,Giant Spider,Trolls,Zombies,Mind Flayers,and other adventurers which could be good or evil.
(the Waterdeep Screen:)
(1)KhelBen Blackstaff's tower:He gives assistance in your adventures
in Undermountain and supplies you with quest and other tasks to perform in exchange for monetary rewards.
(2)Yawning Portal Inn:The most publicly known entrance to Undermoutain.it costs 1 gp to enter or leave.
(3)Market place:Buy or sell items and weapons.

I would love to play this game, and give my Personal opinion of this
game but it is a dos game that is win95 compatible.It isn't combatible
with the system I have.Sage I guess you have been busy but I sent you
an email about this since you are a programmer.The message could have
gotten spammed.Contact me by email.If I can't play it maybe you have
a system that it will work on. |

William, I haven't had time to check my latest emails as yet (I'm am still digesting the character profile Bookwyrm sent me  ), but from what I can determine from your post, I may have a DOS-based program that I wrote (way back when DOS was the in-thing) that may be able to help you. I'll see about sending it out to you soon.

Thanks Sage,I will try it but as I am willing to give it up if I can't
run it and maybe you could post your opinion.I would love to play it
but I had rather it be used than sit on a self. |
