Westwood's Eye of the Beholder 1 and 2 remain today two of the best real-time RPGs ever produced. They feature great graphics for their time, tons of cool weapons and devious real-time puzzles that mysteriously make you come back for more traps and pressure plates to push.
The plots are typical kill-the-big-foozle fare, but the games are so well implemented that you'll be glued to the screen for hours on end. The graphics and animations are both top-notch, and excellent sound effects add to the incredible "you are there" atmosphere that is rarely achieved in RPGs of that time.
Although EOB 2 feels at times like a poor rehash of its predecessor due to awfully similar graphics and monsters, it does feature more expansive and varied outdoor levels, as well as less frustrating endgame boss (defeating the Beholder in EOB 1 is nearly impossible if your party is not at maximum levels).
They're both very challenging games that are definite must-play for dungeon-adventurers, especially fans of book-based AD&D. Too bad SSI's own EOB 3 doesn't measure up to these classics.

For the record, GOG does not sell this game yet. It's up for voting on GOG's Dreamlist. Maybe they did at one time? I don't know honestly. But for whatever reason they seemed to be focused on the Gameboy Advanced version of the game, which is odd.

Do you know the C-64 version? https://www.lemon64.com/game/eye-of-the-beholder
Great game. An answer to FTL's fabulous "Dungeon Master". In some aspect "Eye of the Beholder" exceeds "The King" however in some it does not even equal... An interesting addition of the game were optional special missions that were not required to complete in order to finish the game.
if there is a problem with password, just add a space before writing the word
I am at the point with the ladder to go down to the second level. It is asking for the input from the manual. However, nothing seems to work. I cannot enter any information in the popup nor click or type any keys with any response. What am I doing wrong? thx
can't get mouse to work in the game.
This game will not run on Windows 10 x64.
They made it for SNES? COOL!
Warriors Eternal Sun was the one with overworld view, this is dungeon crawl
Does this have an over-world or is it a pure dungeon crawler?

EDIT: Thx fdisk!
Thanks! for this classic game (hours of my childhood) and thanks DAN for the manual.
I can't enter the password. It's not that I don't have the manual, I do (from my old Amiga version!) but when I press keys on the keyboard nothing happens. Any suggestions?
For those who can;t get past the stairs, because of the password, the manual can be downloaded from here: http://www.replacementdocs.com/download.php?view.469
"The game ask for a password to take stairs at a certain point... anyone have an idea of what could I do?"
This was an attempt at anti-piracy. You had to look up a word in the user manual on a certain page. Sorry, I can't tell you what it was. I don't think I even have the manual anymore.

One of the best games ever, though the sequel is better !
Right click the weapon in their hand. First time I played this game back in 1990 something I kept throwing the contents of my backpack at the kobolds to survive. good memories.
It took me HOURS to finally finish this game!
