Play Dungeons & Dragons : Eye of the Beholder Online

Dungeons & Dragons: Eye of the Beholder came out for the Game Boy Advance in 2002, published by Atari. It was part of that wave of classic PC RPGs getting portable versions, letting you carry a full dungeon crawl in your pocket. The game translated the first-person, grid-based exploration of the original into a smaller format, a decent attempt to bring that style of play on the go.

You control a party of four adventurers, moving them as a single unit through monster-infested corridors one square at a time. The main goal is to delve deep beneath the city of Waterdeep, uncovering a sinister threat. Combat is turn-based; you pause to select attacks or spells for each character, managing limited resources like health and magic. Exploration is methodical, screen by screen, with secret doors to find and pressure plates that often spring nasty surprises. The pacing is slow and deliberate, the difficulty unforgiving if you rush. It feels like a tense, claustrophobic puzzle where every wrong step could be your last.
