COVER ART: Warrior of Ras: Dunzhin (1982)



The Warrior of Ras series is an early Rogue-like RPG series (four in all) created by Randall Don Masteller. Well-executed "go in the dungeon, get magical object, escape" stuff. It seems to have fallen into obscurity, possibly because of its age and the fact that only the first game was ported to IBM PCs? The games and their advertising all feature art by Michael Haire depicting this distinctive blonde warrior. Turn his hair white and he could almost pass for Elric. Haire has contributed to many other games through his career, including various other Med Systems titles and Microprose's games such as Darklands and Sid Meier's works.
