Terror From The DOSoleum: Battlespire

Welcome to Terror From The DOSoleum, a series where Rutskarn and Josh dig up the tombs of old video games to uncover their secrets, only to discover why they were buried in the first place.

In this first installment, we excavate the tomb of An Elder Scrolls “Legend:” Battlespire, Bethesda’s space-time paradox of a dungeon crawler. A game with a jumping system designed by aliens, where trying to move forward often sends you sliding sideways, and every single enemy in the game has its own dialogue tree. Todd help us.
