Eye of the Beholder

No Screenshot

Submit Screenshot
The lords of the city of Waterdeep hire a team of adventurers to investigate an evil coming from beneath the city. The adventurers start in the city's sewer, whose entrance gets blocked by a collapse caused by Xanathar, the eponymous beholder. The team descends further beneath the city, going through Dwarf and Drow communities, to Xanathar's lair, where the final confrontation takes place. Many players felt disappointed with the game ending, which is considered by many to be one of the worst game endings ever. Once the eponymous beholder was killed, the player would be treated to a small blue window describing that the beholder was killed and that the adventurers ventured into the surface where they were treated as heroes. Nothing else is mentioned in the ending and there were no accompanying graphics. This was changed in the later released Amiga version, which featured an animated ending.

HowTo / Notes

NOTE
Please note that this is a DOS game that doesn't necessarily need windows to run. It did run under Windows 3.x, 95, and 98, though (if I recall correctly).
