Is it still worth playing?

A pseudo 3D first person view, real time combat instead of turns, sound effects that warn of a creature nearby and primitive dynamic lighting marked this role playing game for the Atari ST in 1987. Instead of experience points and levels, a character's skills improve directly by using them. The player manipulates objects and the environment by clicking the mouse in the enlarged view. Spells are cast by learning sequences of runes that stand for their form and function, so a fireball is made by combining the fire symbol with the wing symbol. Even now the dungeon rewards the effort of learning the rune system, which is part of the game.
