Lianne in...The Dark Crown
First Impression The first time I ran this, I was amazed! It had great graphics, and was the coolest game out for QBASIC at the time! Neato!
What It's Like Your standard RPG, just the original QBASIC RPG! You walk around fighting random battles and stuff.
Other things you should know You know that whole RPG craze thing? This program started it. It got everone excited about QBRPGs, and now everyone's making them.

The rating
Graphics Classic QBASIC graphics, made before we had all the cool utilities and tile editors and stuff, so based on that, these graphics rule! Back in mid '97, they were just about the best graphics ever seen in a QBRPG.
*****
Sound No Sound.
N/A
Plot/Story Great plot and story! This has cinemas that tell about the story, plus good dialog and a cool idea, unlike many other RPGs. The only downside is that it is not complete. :(
****
Gameplay/Control Arrow keys make you move, space makes you ope chests, and select from menus by pressing keys with brackets. Easy and effective.
****
Overall Impression This was THE GAME that started it all. I like the graphics, and everything else about it except for the fact that it's so short.
