This is one of the few games I actually paid money for back in the day and I was not disappointed. For its time, the story was well written, decent gameplay on par with Bard's Tale and Wizardry, and decent graphics.
I remember reading an interview with the lead programmer and he said that he wanted to put better graphics and more subplots to the story, but was limited to two 5.25" disks for size. Originally they had planned on putting in animated icons similar to the Ultima games.
Nonetheless this is a great game. Cheers to Abandonia for adding this!
