Nah, the real problem with this game is that you have to grind so many monsters for gold and objects that it's not even funny.Rating (30 users voted) MSX 1/2 Home Computers It's not because the game is bad that suddenly, Richard Gariott isn't the true author, he can still makes mistake ! Also I don't think the idea of using the Earth was so bad, as himself said, it was necessary to really grasp the impact of time travel since he couldn't exactly show another world with different time period like Chrono Trigger, they didn't had the graphics for that to have any impact.
