2631.0. "Best Amiga FRP???" by TIGEMS::OPERATOR () Fri Jun 09 1989 00:02

    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,

	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. Ed.

	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) Ed
2631.3	Second vote Fairy Tale	STUDIO::JPETERS	Be nice or be dog food	`Fri Jun 09 1989 10:21`	2
	I have to agree with Ed Fairy Tale is the best adventure for the amiga. Jeff Peters
2631.4	Aint no doubt	LOWLIF::DAVIS	That's not a BUG, it's a FEATURE!	`Fri Jun 09 1989 21:32`	6
	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!!!! ...richard
2631.5	DND type games	RTL::UTZ		`Mon Jun 12 1989 12:51`	11
	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. David
