2631.0. "Best Amiga FRP???" by TIGEMS::OPERATOR () Fri Jun 09 1989 03:02
Sorry if there is pertinent information to this query elsewhere.
What is the best adventure game for the Amiga--specifically similar
to the AD&D scenario? I've played Bard's Tale, Ultima, Questron,
all the Infocom games (very little graphics), Larn (like it a lot),
and various other "adventure" games which give a lame representation
of a fantasy world (cheesy graphics, poor storyline, etc.) I am
interested in a quest (not just random hack-and-slash) and the graphics
need not be so important (just mapping capabilities, and maybe simple
movement animation). I don't like the screen-by-screen adventures
with the text at the bottom. I haven't played Moria, but I've seen
its general idea in the Moria conference. It seems good, but still,
Bard's Tale has strengths over Moria (multiple players/dungeons,
etc.) I would like the expert opinions of expert Amiga role-players.
Thanks,
Superclam

Although Dungeon Master has outstanding game mechanics, my personal
favorite is Faery Tale Adventure by MicroIllusions. It's the only
computer fantasy/adventure game that left me feeling like I had
personally walked 20,000 miles.
FTA features 20,000 smooth scrolling screens and spectacular graphics
and sound. There is a note somewhere dealing specifically with this
game.

| When I owned a C-128 I had "Pool of Radiance".
This was my favorite, but I can't seem to find it for the "Amiga".
Can anybody tell me if they've seen an Amiga version?
Sorry if this doesn't fit here ... But I figure I can get an
a qualified answer here if anywhere.
(sorry to interupt)

| Third vote for Fairey Tale ans second vote for Dungeon Master. Both are
_excellent_, and each with its own strong points. No doubt that Ed is
right about FT being big. I've solved DM, but I'm still walking all
over FT!!!!

| Faery Tale Adventure and Dungeon Master are both great games. I personally
prefer Dungeon Master. Both these games are what I call real-time action. The
clock is ticking while you are standing there doing nothing. If a monster is
attacking, you will keep getting hit until you defeat it or run away. This takes
advantage of the great graphics on the AMIGA and makes the game quite interesting.
From your description, the real-time effect, doesn't sound like it would interest
you that much. If so, then I would suggest Bard's Tale II. The mazes and
puzzles are quite somthing. This one will keep you going for quite a long time.
