DreamForge Intertainment released Menzoberranzan for IBM PC MS-DOS 5.0 Protected mode run-time 1.96 in 1994. Built on the Ravenloft engine, Menzoberranzan is set in TSR's Forgotten Realms campaign setting and is based on the characters found in R.A Salvatore's The Legacy of 1992.

Stupidly, Menzoberranzan cinematizes its character creation via ugly pre-rendered animations that also slow down chargen.
