But Microprose did the right thing by making the card game itself the star of the show here. The cards are shown in all their glory, except that sometimes you cannot read all of the text on a card (and therefore cannot fully understand a card's special abilities). You have the basic crisp SVGA rendering here. After all, this really amounts to a sophisticated card game, and so there's no need for 3Dfx, super-polygon special effects or anything. Then again, not much needed to be changed. One of the areas that wasn't really changed a lot in this release were the graphics.
This means that by the time you get to point B, it's almost always too late for you to help. But it's virtually impossible to move more than thirty paces without running into - and dueling - a monster. The other problem with this is that often you need to get your character from point A to point B in a hurry to stop some creature from attacking a town. In most games you can run away if fighting is not on your agenda at the moment, but here, once a monster touches you, you must duel it - meaning that you could potentially lose a valuable card for simply running into a monster. For instance, I'd be walking towards a city to replenish my food, and a Vampire Lord would attack me from nowhere, leading to a duel. While it was fun to move around the map and duel monsters and go on quests, I did not like the fact that there were many times when I had no choice but to duel. Still, it's a good game overall, with some great features that will keep you busy and entertained for some time.The only real issues I had with this game were with the single-player mode. The game later introduced a multiplayer add-on, but like I said, it was no match for the real-life card game. In the single player campaign you start with a simple deck, and the more you win, the more cards you get to continue building a stronger deck. I was fascinated by the chance to acquire cards I've never seen. But, one good aspect of the game is the Build your Deck option. Winning a match does not bring you the feeling that you've accomplished something, that you've bested your opponent with cunning and a good strategy. While you can create characters and build up decks accordingly to your tastes and fighting style, a computer game of this type lacks the essential: another human opponent. Developed by a giant like Atari, the game itself is a good replica of the world famous deck game. Graphics are actually good, and the sound effects are not that bad. Magic: the Gathering is a well achievement counterpart of the real game. But after some time, I realized this was not the case. My first impression was that I was about to spend many days in front of my computer. I've heard about this game and wanted to give it a try so I downloaded it. I used to play Magic with a real deck, and real friends. Be warned, Magic: the Gathering can be very captivating, digitally or otehrwise! Building a Magic Deck Shandalar).

At any rate, the game features a good chunk of the Magic: the Gathering cards released by the time, and I think it also allows you to add more cards into the game by importing them, so if you're lucky you can use this as a platform even today, as the rules for the game have not changed too much, if at all.
