Title: Slow, frustrating, and boring
Product review: Like so many very early attempts at role playing games, Pool of Radiance has failed to capture the very intent of D&D. The game is slow playing, has very little plot, no room for character development, and is technically inept. Combat simuilation is so slow as to be agonizing. Once combat is entered, you can't leave. Initiative (per combat rules) is almost impossible for a player character. In the early game, you can make a load of money, but you have practically nothing to spend it on. The graphics are poor, the interface is clunky, and the game respresents a bad interpretation of the 3rd edition D&D rules.
