Last night I was entranced by perhaps one of the best little dungeon and dragon java applet. I spent the whole night carving skeletons, wraiths, goblins and even dragons on my computer. The game is like Talisman, Heros quest, Dungeon (u remember the old MB board game back in the 80's?) and a lesser version of popular computer games like might and magic, phantasie. Soooo fun considering it a free, java applet.

The game is called Monster Den, and you can find it on Kongregator.com or actually a lot of free java sites has the game. Go check it out.

My party consisted of a warrior, cleric, mage and ranger, but you can alter a bunch of combinations. there is even a rogue class. I hope they expand and add more classes. Each class has different skills in combat, and of course there are your standard DnD 2nd edition stats system, str, dex, cons, int.

There's not a whole lot in terms of storyline, character developement, missions, etc. It's just explore rooms, fight monsters and of course the funnest part collecting magical items. There are a lot of magical items and equiping the characters is cool.... I find all the regeneration gear the best...

You need to drink potions like mad, because there's not a whole lot of ways to recoup spent magic points and HP except for regen gear, but regen gear is slow.

15/10. Best game out there so far.

I'm pretty much addicted to little Java applets now - MMO's are great, but it takes months and months... little applets gets addictive but only for a few hours.


Also, check out Mcdonalds little hamburger tycoon game - it's pretty fun also. Just do a websearch for mcdonals game.
