Don't know if many remember this game, but is an old RPG from 1992 set in Medievel Germany. I just downloaded it again from Underdogs and it is amazing how well it still holds up. One the first and (still best IMO) sandbox/Non linear games. God I wish someone would do an updated version of this....

I think it would be a good project for Bethesda.....After they finish fallout of course! :)

I didn't like how my chars kept on dying...I was always short on funds. To get any $$ I had to train up an alchemist/drug dealer and just produce non-stop...then I'd train people & it took so long I'd have elderly adventurers. Never got to the point that I could really have fun with it.

Spent many many hours on this one back in the day. Great game. I loved having an actual quasi-historical medieval setting for a nice change of pace.

I'd be down for a remake.

oh man love the game! remember buying it at media play for 5 bucks on 5.25 floppies....Still have the manual somewhere and searching furiously for it when I have the urge play it on my old pentium 75.

This is the first game that made me buy a new computer. I remember it fondly.

My characters died alot too. I didn't really get going with this game until I learned to stay in town and kill groups of thugs until I had some decent equipment.
