I'd like to see if it really work, perhaps.
I'm playing in parallel Eye of the Beholder 1 and Lands of Lore 1, just first levels for now, EOB1 is winning. It's just me, LoL1 certainly sold quite more, got quite better review in its time and has now a quite better fame. But for first levels and for me, EOB1 is winning.
But I also realize that even if probably LoG didn't took enough distance from DM, it's a game that sustains quite well the comparison with those old classics.
