Faery Tale Adventure

Faery Tale Adventure - Amiga Cover

The Greatest Quest is Waged with the Sword but Won with Wisdom

Think Diablo. Think Ultima 8. Ten years before either of these games a full colour, isometric role-playing game was launched on the Amiga.  In fact, one of the system’s first games. Not as linear as Diablo, better looking than Ultima 8 – Faery Tale gave that first feeling of wandering a land rich with adventure.

Music changed according to mood, NPCs could be friend or foe and you could talk to almost anyone! The buildings were all mapped inside as well.

Faery Tale was a brilliant introduction to Role-Playing, set a template for future top-down RPGs and still resides in many people’s Top 10 games.

Also released on the C64, PC and Megadrive / Genesis.
