Betrayal at Krondor 1993
Dynamix released Betrayal at Krondor for IBM PC MS-DOS in 1993. Betrayal at Krondor is set in Raymond E. Feist's Midkemia of Riftwar. A well-written cRPG, Betrayal at Krondor is technically notable for its 3D top-down map-view, 3D first-person exploration and 3-layered inventory mode that features drag and drop.
Betrayal at Krondor's turn-based combat features grid-based movement, ranged and melee to-hit/damage, initiative, spellcasting and weapon and armor modifiers.
Even though its design is clumsy BoK is an undeniable classic. BoK is one of the few pre-Fallout cRPGs that I would recommend playing through in 2024.
Overall, 7½/10.
Betrayal at Krondor was distributed on 7x 3.5" 1.44 MB HD diskettes and extracts and installs via Dynamix Inc. Install/Setup v. 3.649. The install size is 15 megs.
