Introduction - 'Going down..'

The Eye of the Beholder - games are AD&D-rulesystem based dungeon crawlers released in the 1990s by SSI. They draw huge incluence from Dungeon Master, a game amazingly released already in 1987. The first two EOB-games were developed by Westwood Studios but the third one, universally considered bad, was developed internally by SSI.

BEHOLDER 2: Welcome to the Ministry You are a newly employed department officer within the Ministry of a totalitarian State. While you are poised to have an illustrious career and possibly become Prime Minister someday, the way up won't be easy. So, how high up the career ladder will you climb?

Games from the 80s and 90s generally didn't have an automap but assumed players drawing their own maps. With Dungeon Master and its clones, mapping could be tricky with teleporters and changing dungeon layouts.

The All-Seeing Eye is an automapper for the PC MS-DOS versions of the first two EOB games, meant to be used with DOSBox on a Windows PC. It shows a real-time updated dungeon map on a separate window. The map is revealed as you explore.

The Eye of the Beholder - games can be legally bought from GOG.com.

You are a newly employed department officer within the Ministry of a totalitarian State. While you are poised to have an illustrious career and possibly become Prime Minister someday, the way up won't be easy. So, how high up the career ladder will you climb? The choice is still yours to make! Beholder 2 is a typical indie game that attempts to compensate for its unremarkable technology with art and style. For the most part, it succeeds. Although it is thoroughly recognizable when it comes to its production values, Beholder 2 is fairly unconventional in its gameplay. The game boils down largely to accumulation and management of three.

If you're looking for an automapper for Eye of the Beholder 3 there is ASE3.

ASE in action. Moving the mouse over the map shows a description of the map element and items and monsters located there.

After the item usability tweak, any character class can use any item. Especially useful for characters in the back row.

Features - 'Gonna party like it's 1991'

• Real-time automapping meaning that if you open a door or press a button to reveal a secret area, the map changes correctly. The map window can be resized and docked around DOSBox or moved freely.
• Monsters and items can be displayed on the map.
• Official clue book solutions can be shown on the map.
• Backup save game. In EOB 1, there's only one save game slot. You can use All-Seeing Eye to make backups of the save files.
• Explore whole level. You can reveal the whole map.
• Teleporting. You can teleport around the map.
• Character editor with spellbook and inventory editing.
• You can identify all items in the game.
• You can optionally tweak item usability so that every item is usable by every class and only requires one hand to use. So you could use a bow with your back row cleric and so on.

EOB with an automapper is of course a completely different game. I remember playing EOB 1 first time in the 90s and especially in the drow levels felt completely lost after going up and down between the levels looking for yet another key. If you haven't played these games previously and don't use any maps or clue books, they will take quite a lot of time and you won't discover all their secrets first time playing them. Smart player 1 0 2.

Using automap might even feel cheesy for veteran players. But maybe it's justified if you're spoiled by newer games or just don't have that much time anymore to spend on a one single game. Automapping and the other debugging features can be fun for so-called completionist gamers or useful if someone is planning to remake these games on a modern game engine.
