Although the setting suggests an RPG, the game is actually a simplified action game. Dialogue is light, you don't have any stats to increase, combat consists of mashing the same button over and over, and there are only a handful of items to collect in the game. Despite its flaws, the game does feature a game world which, at the time, was unprecedented in size. You could move about the entire map freely without loading or having to go in and out of separate town maps.
The game was originally released on the Commodore 64, and then ported to the bulk of the other home computers of the time. Of the releases, the Amiga port has the best graphics, the DOS port has the highest quality music, but the NES release is the most playable and makes the best use of its music.
