User reviews

Need an option for zero stars.

Here's why. People who are fans of the game from way back have purchased this app believing that it is legit. It is not.
First and foremost, Elite Systems "STOLE" this game from the rightful owner, Philip Price, who invented the game and still legally owns all the rights to it. Apple Computer should be ashamed for having anything to do with this criminal. But maybe Apple does not know?
Last I heard from Philip, he has neither the money nor the time to combat this in court. So that makes it OK???
Apple, if you're reviewing this, please do something about it!
Now secondly, I don't know how many people besides myself were taken by this fraud, but another thing I do know is that the game is not ported properly. It's about as bush-league a port as it could be. Elite Systems has never offered any support or bug-fixes for it. We all wondered why for awhile. Now we know the truth.
Apple Computer, please do not censor this review. Let the truth be known about it.

OMG!!!

This was one of my most favorite games on my C64 along with MM1, MM2, MM3, and of course AR: The Dungeon. I was around 13-14 at the time and I remember reading the back of the box and freaking out because it mentioned eating and drinking in taverns. I was so excited that there were going to be many sequels to this. Sad that there was only one after this, The Dungeon. That was definitely my favorite of the two. Every once in a while, within the last 28ish years, I have checked up to see if there will be a remake with the present technology. Maybe one day. But....in the meantime, I am pretty excited there is an app for this game and its sequel. Now I'm going to sign off so I can mess around with it.

Thank you for this.

P.S. The five star rating is a personal reflection of the game back in 1985ish.

Awesome

Other than the sound problems, this game is just like the original 8-bit game! I wasted thousands of hours on the game in the eighties instead of doing my chores and homework. I love it! Please fix the sound though...

Sound and music from opening?

Ya know? The reason I bought this to show my friend. The alternate reality music? You remember it. You are a thief. Give me my money back or fix this today.
(year later)
Still no update after a year. No fixes. No music. It's too bad.

Please FIx the Sound!!!!

My favorite game on the Atari 800!! If the sound and a few minor bugs would be fixed I will rate this a 5!!
