Had never played [or even really knew about] this series before, and just finished Dark Sun 1 a couple nights ago. It's exactly the type of RPG I was hoping for -- more than the Eye of the Beholder or Gold Box games I had been looking at trying. The game(s) is story centered with branching dialogues, and the turn-based combat is really fun. The other games I mentioned (and many others from their general time period, until Baldur's Gate) had fun dungeon crawling, but actual story was kind of sparse and dialogue mostly non-existent. The only thing I don't like about this Steam release is that the first game doesn't work with Dosbox Staging -- which has some really nice scanline options, for a VASTLY cleaner & vintage look (without it the graphics look too blocky on modern monitors). I had to actually find an abandonware version of the game to have that work, but still used the manual and cluebook from the Steam Release. It would be nice if the Steam release integrated Staging support. ...

You must find a way to escape into the hostile wilderness, join with other escaped slaves and create a rebel force powerful enough to destroy the evil sorcerer-king's army.

- Engage into turn-based tactical battles
- Freely explore the Dark Sun world
- Solve quests and interact with NPCs

If you think things on Athas couldn't possibly get hotter, think again...
