Eye of the Beholder for the Sega Mega Cd



Sega What?
The Sega Mega-CD (top image) was an add-on device for the Sega Mega Drive released in Europe, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. The Genesis add-on for the North American market was called Sega CD. The device allowed the user to play games, audio CDs, and CD+G discs.

Eye of the What?
Eye of the Beholder is a computer role-playing game developed by Westwood Studios and published by Strategic Simulations, Inc. in 1990 for the DOS operating system, later ported to the Amiga, the Sega CD and the SNES. The Sega CD version features an exclusive soundtrack composed by Yuzo Koshiro.

Eye of the Beholder is a dungeon crawler RPG with a first-person perspective based on the 2nd Edition AD&D rules. Your starting party consists of four characters and up to two NPCs can join later. Combat and magic happen in real time. Fight over a dozen different monster varieties and cast over 40 spells. A point-and-click interface makes exploring, fighting, spellcasting and handling objects easy.

So?
Through an extraordinary piece of good fortune, a mint edition CD of Eye of the Beholder, has just gone on the market ... about as rare as snow in July. . . . . well okay then August
