The Dark Spire

The Dark Spire is an old school first person RPG that harkens back to classics such as Wizardy and The Bard's Tale.  This game will appeal to gamers who appreciate retro style and mechanics.  You control a party of adventurers who explore and map level upon level of trap and monster infested dungeon.  The graphics are stylized, but meant to look like those you might see on a computer circa 1988.  The game even offers an option to dial the clock back a few more years and make the graphics and sound even more retro.
