Description \ Information:
You are a magician who has to kill the evil "Nemesis". In cemeteries, dungeons and catacombs you fight against orcs, skeletons, wizards, and later demons. There is just one weapon. This was the first game to use textured 3D graphics before the bigger success of Wolfenstein 3D, but still was in EGA (16 colours). The game introduced the concept of showing the player's hand. In general the ambiance doesn't manage to please a lot. Many secret passages and mostly similar textures complicate the orientation, the enemies don't look very good and are sparely animated.
