The Faery Tale Adventure, hit or hype?

mcm

Personally, I loved this game and completed it at least three times. But my game had some sort of bug so that I never got to see the fabled city in the desert, IF it even existed.

Sure, it could be much walking at times, but I loved the way he got hungry and sleepy, it actually felt as if I controlled a human being(at the time, of course, I didn't expect too much of my games).

This was also the game that made me curious about the Ultima-games, and to my delight, I loved U4 even more than faery tale adventure.

Any other fans out there?

I liked this game as well. I found the secret city of Azal in the desert. You needed something to see it but can not remember what it was.

I just noticed this game for the first time last night, and I'm looking forward to trying it out when I'm done with this biology paper. As a huge Ultima fan, I love playing anything even close to them... I always preferred the overhead style over the first person dungeon crawling games.

Yes...I loved it.

The story about the 3 brothers one was strong the other brave bla bla.
I had a hard time wit building up my character.
I also sucked in fighting. So I used a bug to my advantage.

I remember the book that game with the game.
It had a nice story in it with hints and drawings.

I also remember the long walks, getting lost, meeting a beggar and donating money to him to improve your kindness, riding on the back of a turtle, flying on a swan (I bet that is how KLM got there commercial) and fighting a witch.

Good sollid RPG for sure. Good mood...gives out this feeling of being all alone in this large world.

I also loved this game, and is still one of my fav RPG's of all time. Didn't a swan fly you to the city in the desert - or is my memory playing up again?

In addition to the above, I really liked the way night set on very slowly and the fact you could save the game to the Ram Drive. Unusual at the time.
