A great game released too soon

I was a fan of the Riftwar saga when this was released, and I've always been a huge fan of RPGs in general, so when I heard this was being made, I was thrilled. And it didn't disappoint. Not only was it a good game, but between the graphics (fairly ahead of the times then) and the story, it was possibly one of the best games I have ever, or will ever, play.

One of the major issues with this game was that it was brought out right about the time games were switching from floppy disk to CD ROM, and so it kind of disappeared in the onslaught of new stuff to buy. Either because people didn't have the new technology to play it with, and didn't want to deal with loading it from that many floppies, or because they were too distracted by everything else coming out about the same time.

Though it is out of date these days, it is still one of the best games out there, and even better? You can now download the entirety of the game for free as Sierra (the owner of the series at the time) released it for free on their website when the sequel (which is also a nice game, but not quite as great) was released. There's a link for the download here if you're interested in playing it.
