Phantasie III: The Wrath of Nikademus

Very early (1987) and good RPG. Puzzles are light which I like, in the dungeon near the starting place you always get instructions what to do next which makes the game straightforward to play. Combat is rather tough, however, even after playing for a longer time it is still a challenge not to get everyone killed so you need to save a lot. Be sure to have at least 2 wizards in your party, they will be the strongest members after some training. The other great RPG from this time is the Faery Tale Adventure.
9/10

I had this game. What I remember about it was a large sprawling map and you really had to look after your party of adventurers. Despite being careful and attentive you soon ended up with party members who had injured (or worse still, missing!) limbs due to forgettable combat episodes. Had many enjoyable hours on this one.

Strangely enough the second opus didn't make it to the Amiga while the 1st and 3rd did, there was also a 4th episode but only on MSX2 and in Japanese. That one was a tedious game as i recall.

I played this game years ago on the Amiga 500 and found it to be a very good game. Now if I can only find the game.

I first found this game when I received a trilogy pack containing it. It was love it first sight. This was my first introduction into the world of RPG gaming. I used to spend hours and hours saving and reloading trying to make my party any good. On later reflection the game is very basic but still so much fun. Years later I starting playing the PC version only to discover it only had four colours and was half as good as the Amiga one. Long live the Amiga

This game was so cheap at the time that I bought it without knowing what it was. It then made history for me as being my first RPG ever. As mentioned, the presentation is very basic but the game was fun nonetheless.

Characters in this game could have their limbs chopped off in battle. Kind of an original idea but it used to happen all the time and became quite annoying after a while.

A simple but fun RPG that I enjoyed playing through! Very basic presentation, but that's OK. The Load/Save hassle to get the optimal amount of HP when leveling up was memorable...
