The Sword of Fargoal is an excellent game

I remember spending a lot of time playing The Sword of Fargoal when I was very young. Now it is a pleasure to play it again not only in the VICE emulator (which now supports other two-player C64 games over internet connections -- wow!), but also the remake on the Mac or the PC.

It is an excellent game for children as well because the maps of each level are always a welcome suprise, which is probably one of the most important features that make it so interesting (sometimes I feel like I have to explore every possible space on a level just to see the whole floor plan before moving on).

The wide variety of D&D monsters, and the various traps they set, are another important aspect that make this game so much fun.

I'm so glad the author is promoting this game at http://www.fargoal.com/ because it's uniqueness make it an important part of computer gaming history in my strong opinion.
