Haha, well you're getting VERY close. But listen carefully:

The mangarment happened in the past, the current woes occured because the gods must be crazy.

Once there were three elderly men whom could judge the ability of young adventurers. Now there remains only one.

This game focuses on the robbery of pre-destination.

Very tricky.

I think it must be either Bard's Tale II or III. I'm going to go long and say Bard's Tale III.

	10-05-2003 00:45									#138
	Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

Yeah, it's Bard's Tale III: The Thief of Fate (stealing predestination).

In Bard's Tale one there used to be a three person council you'd go to in order to level up, in the third installment two of them died of old age. Skara Brae, which had been saved in Bard's Tale I now lies in ruins due to the rise of the mad god.

Anyway, go ahead.

Allright, I have another idea though I'm not sure if I can give you an EXACT title.

Basically, this is the game where you play the role of a traveling mathamatician whom goes around solving the problems of various villagers. The action takes place in an Ultima-esque type world. You have to solve their math problems, and in exchange they'll give you food. If you manage to do enough (I guess you solve the King's problem) you win.

For some reason I believe this game is called, "Math Quest", but I've been unable to verify this. There were a lot of other games on the disc it came with, including another fun game where you were a ruin's explorer with a gun. in order to open doors in THAT game you needed to find the GCF/LCD's of various numbers.
