Reception
Dennis Owens reviewed the game for Computer Gaming World, and stated that "despite its problems, Legends of the Lost Realm is a fascinating, complex, and rewarding gaming experience. It is a must buy for all Mac users who are desperately wailing for role-playing games and intricate adventures." Macworld inducted Legends of the Lost Realm into its 1990 Game Hall of Fame in the Best Role-Playing Game category, calling the game a "role-playing epic that tops Wizardry." Lisa Stevens reviewed Legends of the Lost Realm in White Wolf #26 (April/May, 1991), rating it a 2 out of 5 and stated that "this game is fine for a romp in the dungeon, but for those people who are used to more sophisticated adventure games, you will end up being disappointed. I don't feel the game measured up to the hype on the back of the box".
