"Unplayable rubbish" was what I called it in my review.<br /><br />http://www.fightingfantasyfan.info/legend-of-zagor/<br /><br />Some of required combats include a wyvern (10/16), an ogre boss (9/22), a dragon (10/16), another dragon (15/22), and of course Zagor (16/20). With Salazzar the wizard having a skill of 5 or 6, good luck with that.<br /><br />Killing Zagor doesn't end the game, there's still 20 pages of Test Your Luck to see if you can throw him into the fire pits, kinda like with the Emperor at the end of Return of the Jedi, before he regenerates and your adventure ends there.<br /><br />The open nature of the hallways, and the choice of four characters (3 of them usable), were the only high points of this one.FightingFantasyFanhttp://www.fightingfantasyfan.info/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7215693550440664594.post-30926569868087506962012-02-28T07:55:22.425+13:002012-02-28T07:55:22.425+13:00This is a very nice book by Keith Martin ...

You can go south!). <br /><br />Lots of nice collectables and even some pre-designed characters to find them with. Really nice idea and one which the latest reprints of FF have taken advantage. Nice idea Keith (I mean Ian). <br /><br />This book was one of the last true greats of the series ... maybe the very last.foadironhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08359889221156012366noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7215693550440664594.post-77673382690208688872009-02-20T08:34:00.000+13:002009-02-20T08:34:00.000+13:00I actually quite liked Legend of Zagor- the charac...I actually quite liked Legend of Zagor- the character-selection thing was novel, and while it *is* undeniably just a dungeon-crawl, it's not a bad dungeon-crawl. It's not full of insta-death-traps, and while it's not *easy*, it isn't nearly as hard as some of the series nastiest examples. It was also quite long, as I recall, which I regard as a point in it's favour.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14248806756051198821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7215693550440664594.post-50413059273621154382009-02-04T13:40:00.000+13:002009-02-04T13:40:00.000+13:00So will you be selling your collection? :)So will you be selling your collection? :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7215693550440664594.post-7050859844886351122009-02-03T22:29:00.000+13:002009-02-03T22:29:00.000+13:00Zoot Zimmer?!
