Is it still worth playing?

Westwood Associates' 1991 role playing game for MS-DOS, the sequel to Eye of the Beholder, in which an Archmage sends the party to investigate the Darkmoon Temple. You create new characters or import the party from the first game, with their skills and most of their armor. Most of the game is inside the temple, roamed freely between the catacombs beneath it, its upper levels and its three towers, silver, azure and crimson. Its interface and combat are largely the same as before. What changed is the layout: floors are smaller and more straightforward, with fewer teleport and spinner tiles, and there are outdoor areas, more dialogue options and more puzzles and riddles. Those puzzles often send you back for an item that opens a door. Puzzles that send you back for the right item still reward remembering where you have been today.
