I have unabashedly declared my love for all versions of Spiderweb Software’s Avadon: The Black Fortress, saying in my PC review:
Spiderweb took a chance this year – they left behind the established and well-loved worlds of Avernum and Geneforge and set out on a new adventure. Avadon: The Black Fortress is the start of a new franchise, and so far it is looking like we are in for a great series!
