Comments

Also known as The Orb and The Crystal Orb.

This game was withdrawn from sale after Argus Press Software took legal action against CRL, as it was just an illegal copy of their game 'The Valley', released by ASP. In their defence, CRL claimed that they had bought the rights to the game in good faith, unaware of the original.

Review:

Apart from the obvious problem as mentioned in the comments, this is a solid early fantasy role playing game.

It runs very slowly and has simple graphics but there is always the urge to keep going and explore the varied terrain.
