Hell yeah!
Early game AD&D 2nd Ed will unapologetically, mercilessly kill you. If they didnt' change it in the last twenty years I would suggest un-ticking the "critical hits for player characters" and i think the "massive gibs for player characters" options, as if you take too much damage in one hit your character will explode in to bits and you won't be able to rez them.
Some AD&D tips
Fireball is always the solution, and if the solution isn't fireball then the solution is lightning bolt
Save early, save often. AD&D 2nd Ed was full of save-or-die checks and the game is totally unlevelled so you can run in to stuff that will destroy you early on.
skull trap. when it's not fireball, it's skull trap. lightning bolts will just bounce back and kill you too. or shoot away into the forest and do nothing.
Oh hell yeah Sierra point and click games taught me to save and its finally gnna pay off
This is how a real gamer plays.
Hardcore difficulty lfg.
