Eye of the Beholder 2, one of the best dungeon crawlers ever, is free on GOG

A few years back I wrote about why you should play the 1991 D&D classic Eye of the Beholder 2: The Legend of Darkmoon. Now here's another one: It's free on GOG until June 19.
Eye of the Beholder 1 and 3 are okay, but EOB2 is where it's at, and if you're not sure you want to power through an entire trilogy of decades-old dungeon crawling it works perfectly well as a standalone experience. It's got everything a great D&D game needs, including sprawling dungeons, sinister bad guys, and a clean, clear divide between good and evil.

All 3 are actually free on GOG, not just EotB2.

Btw, the CRPG Addict tested the first two already:

Spoiler!

Plot twist: He rated the first one one point higher than II because the first one had better and more NPC interactions, side quests and being less linear. The second one has much improved combat, but that alone wasn't enough to beat the first one in his scoring, something which surprised himself.
