Neverwinter Nights (AOL)
1991 role-playing video game
Neverwinter Nights is a graphical massively multiplayer online role-playing game developed by Beyond Software and published by Strategic Simulations. It ran from 1991 to 1997 on AOL.
Gameplay
Neverwinter Nights was developed with gameplay similar to previous games in the Gold Box series. Players began by creating a character. After creating the character, gameplay took place on a screen that displayed text interactions, the names and current status of one’s party of characters, and a window which displayed images of geography marked with various pictures of characters or events. When combat occurred, gameplay switched to full-screen combat mode, in which a player’s characters and enemies were represented by icons which moved around in the course of battle.
