This version of Eye of the Beholder, is amazing, great CD quality sounds which I find lacking in the original and snes port. The Game Boy Advanced version does this game no justice. Extremely happy with the quality as it's getting vintage in age. Going to have a YouTube video reviewing three different versions from MSDOS SNES and now Sega CD so very pleased.

Something evil is lurking below the city of Waterdeep. The Lords of Waterdeep summon a group of heroes to investigate. But someone or something has been watching the proceedings. After the heroes enter the sewers, the ceiling collapses behind them. The only way out is the way down, into a dungeon filled with monsters, traps and puzzles. Eye of the Beholder is a dungeon crawler RPG with a first-person perspective based on the 2nd Edition AD&D rules. Your starting party consists of four characters and up to two NPCs can join later. Combat and magic happen in real time. Fight over a dozen different monster varieties and cast over 40 spells. A point-and-click interface makes exploring, fighting, spellcasting and handling objects easy.
Before Diablo and Dungeon Siege, before Neverwinter Nights and Baldur's Gate, people got their dungeon crawling D&D fix by playing the games made by one company: SSI. The Eye of the Beholder series, Menzoberranzan, Pool of Radiance ... all of these were the staples of the dungeon crawl genre back in the late 80's and early 90's, and Eye of the Beholder was one of the finest, at least for me. I originally played this title on the PC, and the Sega CD port of the game is letter perfect. The soundtrack is nice and eerie, the game is well balanced to be challenging without being impossible, and the mechanics are easy to master. You start with a party of 4 characters which you roll up D&D style and you can pick up more on your travels, and of course there are a plethora of items both magical and mundane to equip your party with. The only real drawback to the Sega CD version is playing with the gamepad; thankfully the Sega Mega Mouse isn't hard to find (or very expensive) if you want to play it the way it was meant to be played. Overall, this game on the Sega CD is a fantastic port of a classic PC RPG, and it's a trip through classic gaming that every gamer should experience.Read full review
One of my favorites on the system.
