Betrayal at Krondor garnered the 44th spot on PC Gamer's 'The 50 Best Games Ever' list, in the November 1999 issue. Here's what they had to say about the classic:
The best computarized adaptation of any literary fantasy series, Sierra's Betrayal at Krondor contains all the elements that make a roleplaying game great - involving story, simple interface, characters with personality, and a gameworld large enough to take days to traverse. With its linear storyline but sprawling terrain, players could spend hours on mini-quests before ever delving into the main plot. The game's story was developed in collaboration with Raymond Feist, the author of the Midkemia novels on which the game is based, and the touch of a professional storyteller is evident throughout the whole affair. If there's any justice, Betrayal at Krondor will go down in history as one of the finest PC roleplaying games for the PC.
