    Since GoG is offering Eye of the Beholder for Free (see quoted post)
    I thought I'd ask something I've been looking for a forum to ask this for a while, but never seemed the right place.

    While decent, for some reason even though they are newer and more technologically advanced (especially Eob3), the Eye of the Beholder games always felt like inferior knockoffs to the indie game Dungeon Master and felt more clunky to play than DM. The game is abandonware, and might be freeware or something, I'm not sure on the exact legal status. FTL games is long gone, and there are several clones out there you can download that recreate the game faithfully. The website I linked has the game for download.

    Am I just biased or did anybody else think EoB, which clearly ripped off from Dungeon Master's playstyle much like Bard's Tale ripped off Wizardry was not as well done as DM?
    I still prefer DM over EoB.
