I once tried to get inti the first Ishar game (got the trilogy from a friend), but always died, the game was just too hard for me, and I never really understood the ovverall controls and everything, since i had the feeling to be instantly trown into this world with no preparation at all.

I really would like to play it through, but with the party constantly dying and no hints at all I think it will be long until I try it again.
