Black Crypt

Black Crypt was the first title ever released by Raven Software. Raven founders Brian and Steve Raffel had an idea for a role playing game in the late 80's and set out to make it a reality. By April 1990, the brothers had brought two programmers aboard to assist them in the development of the game. The four produced a demo of Black Crypt and sent it out to several publishing companies. Electronic Arts (EA) saw the demo and agreed to publish the game - Black Crypt was released on March 20th, 1992.
