I would call it a 95% authentic version of the original. I was pretty excited to see this on the iPad, and I do appreciate the effort, however I must point out a few things for the old schoolers looking to recapture old experiences. First, the sound is very broken in most shops. The intro is completely devoid of any music (this is half the reason people seek loading this up at all). Also, I could be wrong but I think this is a conversion of the C64 version of the game (the intro credits also mention the programmers). This version was the worst available. The Atari 8 bit version was much better (the system it was originally created on). Right now, I wouldn't load this up again without fixing the music. For those that remember, the music was half the reason you played this game at all since it really didn't have much of a plot. The tunes played in the inns were classics. Thank for this but please fix the music and consider fixing the intro. It's possible the C64 version didn't have a full intro, I honestly do not remember.

First, let me say I remember playing many many hours of AR on my Atari 800 back in the day. So far I love the lack of load times, but most obviously missing is the music. No sound at all on the opening animation, can hear some sound when walking around, no music in the tavern. If this isn't a bug then the game is missing one of its best qualities! AR had one of the best music systems back then, and to have it missing is sad to say the least. Hopefully this is something that can be fixed, I don't remember reading anything about it missing in the description. Once fixed I will gladly up the number of stars.

This was one of my most favorite games on my C64 along with MM1, MM2, MM3, and of course AR: The Dungeon. I was around 13-14 at the time and I remember reading the back of the box and freaking out because it mentioned eating and drinking in taverns. I was so excited that there were going to be many sequels to this. Sad that there was only one after this, The Dungeon. That was definitely my favorite of the two. Every once in a while, within the last 28ish years, I have checked up to see if there will be a remake with the present technology. Maybe one day. But....in the meantime, I am pretty excited there is an app for this game and its sequel. Now I'm going to sign off so I can mess around with it. Thank you for this.P.S. The five star rating is a personal reflection of the game back in 1985ish.

My favorite game on the Atari 800!! If the sound and a few minor bugs would be fixed I will rate this a 5!!
