Awww yiss, more Kyrandia! I don't mind the zaniness, the talking animations that just don't sync up, or other flaws, for two reasons. First, it's not the first game, it's improved. Secondly, it's not as lovely as some of its competitors around the same period, one of which (COUGHXANTHCOUGH) created two entire Dead Man Walking paths. Not moments, paths. And even the good path has your companion character trying to trick you into dying at least once.

So yeah, I actually don't mind this game at all.

Yep, also made by Westwood. They had the license to produce D&D games for a while in the early 90s, and made the first two Eye of the Beholder games for Amiga, PC, SNES etc in addition to several other D&D-based RPGs for those platforms. After they lost the license in 1992, they went on to make similar games set in their own original universe: Lands of Lore.

It's a shame that the EoB series didn't really have that much music, as what there was was pretty atmospheric. Also, I loved Lands of Lore for two particular reasons... Firstly, because it was a better EoB 3 than EoB 3 was, and secondly...
