Magnetic Scrolls: The Legacy: Realm of Terror 1993 This is a Horror RPG from MicroProse that they have had a hand in developing. PC From: Staffan Vilcans Subject: U. S. Gold Ltd "Heroes of the Lance" släpptes senare (1991) som budgetspel från "Kixx". Det fanns även till Amstrad (vet tyvärr inte modellen bara att det recencerades av "Amstrad Action") och Amiga (även på CD-ROM med extra grafik). Det verkar som om det skrevs av SSI (Strategic Simulations Inc). En recention finns på http://www.the-den.clara.net/ys/articles/heroesofthelance.htm Spelet ingår i samma serie som "Curse of the Azure Bonds" och "Pool of Radiance". Frågan är om de inte är mer av rollspel egentligen eftersom de är en officiell AD&D release. >> "Heroes of the Lance" släpptes senare (1991) som budgetspel från "Kixx". >Det låter som ett RPG, tycker jag.

Wrath of Denethenor (which was really an Ultima-RPG clone) by Sierra. From: British I'm glad to see you mentioned the TI-994/A is mentioned on your adventure game list. But you forgot one major game. TUNNELS OF DOOM! This was THE best RPG ever made for it, which has tremendous replayability. It was made by TI themselves which is a shock. Usually the companies who make the comupters do awful in making their own games.

Leslie “One can slip loose from the hand of Death, but the grasp of Azraith is forever.” --Rathman the Younger, water warrior Band together online with other brave explorers wielding magic and blade to battle the minions of the Evil Lord Azraith. As a Wizard, Warrior, or Priest, you have been recruited by the Order of Red Moon Warriors. Defend the region of Kaerling’s Landing. Defeat Azraith’s schemes to return to destroy the earth spirit Gaia, and prevent the very land from being corrupted to serve his evil desires. “You’d think that saving the land by the thinnest of margins should result in the fattest of purses.” --Battle complaint of Jabbuk, pattern wizard and Red Moon Warrior As the minions of Azraith spread chaos, despair and fear throughout the land, Azraith’s power grows. With so many foes the team must choose wisely. Strike at the goblins infesting the road taverns, the demon knight in the mountain village, or the shades manifested near the glimmer tree? Kill the possessed hero Nadim, or exorcise the evil spirit at great risk? Can you meld heroic spirits, brave hearts and daring tactics into a heroic team which will be ready to face Azraith in the final conflict? “Jabbuk no whining, more killing or I feed you to the mudworm.” --Klarina, light priestess and exasperated Red Moon Warrior Azraith Rising RPG is a online role playing game for 2 to 4 players.

Available for Dragon & Oric, possibly others. Had a bigger sequel called Return Of The Ring released on the Dragon possibly on other machines. A possible addition ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Legend Entertainment's Superhero League of Hoboken Like you said, the lines for determining what is and what is not an adventure game are pretty vague, but if you include Sierra's Quest for Glory series, I think you should also include this game. Yes, it has some role-playing elements to it, but for most intents and purposes this game is just an adventure game >with< those elements--it isn't primarily >about< roleplaying.

Commodore 64 From: "Peter Kargenian" To: unicorn@lysator.liu.se Subject: Finding an old piece of software! Date: Fri, 19 Dec 1997 07:11:13 PST Dear Hans, I am looking for a piece of software that is probably over 8 years old by now. Its title is "Legend of Farghail". It has the "reLine Software" logo on the manual but when I sent them an E-Mail they said that the copywright was held by Softgold GmbH. I did not find the name of this software in your listing so I thought I would send you this letter and aks if you know where it is, where I can find it, or if there are even any copies left. This software is for the Amiga 4000 computer that I have. This was one of the first games that I can remember that had an install to HD that came with it. It was used very much back in the later 1980's and after going over my old software I found the game and tried to install it. The install went fine but when running the program it does not work correctly when in some areas. I tried playing it from the disks but it wasn't working for that either. I would like to get back into this Adventure/Role playing game and would appreciate any help you could give me. Please E-Mail me back at peter_kargenian@hotmail.com and let me know. Thanks Pete Kargenian Date: Tue, 14 Dec 1999 16:04:58 -0600 From: Rubywand Publisher: SoftSide Game: SuperQuest Type: 'Text graphics' maze adventure; written by Jeff Hurlburt and released on disk by SoftSide in 1983 Runs on: Apple II Notes: SuperQuest uses the Text screen to display each of over 1000 maze rooms. The adventurer, treasure chests, and monsters show as individual Text characters. Lo-res graphics are used for a few special screens. It is the distant future and the balance between Science and Magic has slipped to such an extent that few 'scientific devices' will function. Your objective is to make your way through an ancient maze to the fabled "Mega Crown". Lifting it will release rays which will restore the balance. Your character can be a Dwarf, Human, Elf, or Hobbit. This sets basic attributes (Strength, Dexterity, Toughness, ...). Attributes improve with experience and the use of potions. Game saves are allowed in the Bazaar near the maze entrance and in three hospices located somewhere inside the maze. These places are also where you sell treasure and buy weapons, armor, etc..
