Eye of the Beholder is one of the most noteworthy games of all time. Originally designed for DOS, this is how you port a game to the Amiga! Lovingly done does not begin to describe what I believe to be the definitive version of this game. It's a role playing game, a dungeon crawler with real time combat, it's gorgeous with fantastic sounds, and it's best on the Amiga... Made in America! As such it is best experienced in NTSC mode with a 4:3 aspect ratio.
