They also (as did a number of other AD&D DOS Games) appeared later in Gamefest: Forgotten Realms Classics (2001, Interplay). CollectionsĮye of the Beholder Trilogy (1995, SSI) was a rerelease of all the three games for DOS on CD-ROM. Eye of the Beholder III: Assault on Myth DrannorĮye of the Beholder III: Assault on Myth Drannor was not developed by Westwood, the developer of Eye of the Beholder and The Legend of Darkmoon, but rather in-house by the publisher SSI. Eye of the Beholder II: The Legend of DarkmoonĮye of the Beholder II: The Legend of Darkmoon used a modified version of the first game's engine, added outdoor areas and greatly increased the amount of interaction the player had with their environment, along with substantially more 'roleplaying' aspects to the game. It was also possible to import a party from Eye of the Beholder into The Legend of Darkmoon or from The Legend of Darkmoon into Assault on Myth Drannor thus, a player could play through all three games with the same party. The possibility to increase the size of the player's party through the recruiting of NPCs was a tradition in all of the Eye of the Beholder series.

This can be increased to a maximum of six characters, by resurrecting one or more skeletons from dead non-player characters (NPC), or finding NPCs that are found throughout the dungeons. The player controls four characters, initially, using a point-and-click interface to fight monsters. GameplayĮye of the Beholder featured a first-person perspective in a three-dimensional dungeon, similar to Dungeon Master. This was changed in the later released Amiga version, which featured an animated ending. Nothing else was mentioned in the ending and there were no accompanying graphics. Once the eponymous beholder is killed, the player would be treated to a small blue window describing that the beholder was killed and that the adventurers returned to the surface where they were treated as heroes. The team descends further beneath the city, going through Dwarf and Drow clans, to Xanathar's lair, where the final confrontation takes place. The adventurers enter the city's sewer, but the entrance gets blocked by a collapse caused by Xanathar, the eponymous beholder.

The lords of the city of Waterdeep hire a team of adventurers to investigate an evil coming from beneath the city.
