Legend of Zagor is a board game released in 1993 for 1–4 players and 60 minutes per game. It was designed by Ian Livingstone.
Odd game based on the RPG-like mechanics of the Fighting Fantasy books, with the exploration and dungeon crawling of TSR's Dungeon. The game has superb plastic miniatures and board, and an electronic voice and game moderator similar to MB's The Omega Virus. This game, however, was only produced in Europe. The game was not much of a success, in large part because it came out a bit late to benefit from the hype of the Heroquest phenomenon.
