Tunnels & Trolls: Crusaders of Khazan

Role-Playing Games

Tunnels & Trolls: Crusaders of Khazan is a computer role-playing game adapted from the tabletop role-playing game Tunnels & Trolls. New World Computing developed and published it in 1990 for MS-DOS, FM Towns, PC-88 and PC-98, and it was an international production, designed and directed in the United States but programmed in Japan. The story follows a war on the Dragon Continent between the great wizard Khazan and the demon queen Lerotra'hh and her sorcerer consort Khara Kang. Khazan went into exile in exchange for a promise of peace, which Lerotra'hh then broke, so the player must defeat Kang and Lerotra'hh and bring Khazan back. Play is typical of computer role-playing games of its era, with an icon-driven interface, turn-based top-down combat and auto-mapping. Critics were divided: Dragon gave it five stars out of five, while two Computer Gaming World reviewers disliked it.
