The first Heroes of Might and Magic game?

Can't be, unless he screwed up the year. HOMM 1 was released in 1995.

I know the first Ultima's were on the C64, 1990 would have been around Ultima V or Ultima VI I think.

I don't remember if they were TBS though.

I feel I have to give you another one. It's way to hard at the moment I guess. The game was part of a series (of sorts), but the other games wasn't strategy games.

1) Around 1990, strategy on C64 and PC
2) Heroes and artifacts plays a role in this TBS.
3) Part of a "series" of games that was not TBS-games.

Perhaps War of the Lance? The other three Dragonlance games were a kind of adventure game.

My God I've just got huge War of the Lance flashbacks too. This game makes me feel so old!

War of the Lance is correct!

I didn't think that anyone would get it that fast. Impressive as I didn't think the game was well known.

The other games in the series where classical RPG-games.

Well, Kropotkin's clue no.3 was the magic number. At the time I was really into the Dragonlance series and any games about it. I would have loved to play War of the Lance but I never could find it.

Yeah, I read the books, played the games. As I remember it I really enjoyed War of the Lance. It was primitive in many aspects of cource but it had some elements that made it special.

Plus Raistlin was a cool anti-hero/bad guy. I still see people online these days named after the Dragonlance characters.

I thought Raistlin was just a variation on "raisin". And here I though all those people were health food freaks......

Raistlin was super cool.

When I was (even) younger and (even) geekier I played as Raistlin in a Dragonlance D&D game with a group of mates. My best-friend played Rasitlin's muscle-bound brother, another guy who was really short and had a pony-tail played Tasselhoff. Good times....

I really identified with Raistlin for some reason. :scary:

I've also lost touch with almost all of those friends. *sigh*

Not to mention the impact off the dragonlance-series on my english. Before I started to read books in english had a weak 2 in english (on the 1-5 scale, where 5 is the best and 3 is average). After just one semester I had risen to a strong 4.

Yeah, the Dragonlance was great reading as a kid but unfortunately the publisher TSR made one big mistake. They forgot to bow out gracefully and tried to get their hands on any RPG-fan/librarian and chug out few more novels for any side or background character in the original story. It really got kind of sad at the end with even the original authors doing a "sequel".


But enough bookreviews for today. We have games to find!

Once again, an adventure game for 16-bit homecomputers and IBM PC's, late 80's. After this one I'll lay off the adventure games for awhile.


This adventure certainly certainly was worth its while
All those purple graphics at the start gave it a certain style...
The initial start gave you five challenges to fulfill
And after that things went downhill....
It certainly wasn't bad
Because you really had to use your head....


Now it's up to you dear reader
To guess the game and become the leader...

Kropotkin,

No it sure ain't Larry

That last sentence of my rhyme is a bit of mismatch
So lets make one that does catch!

The only "pink" adventure game I remember is Chewy - Escape from F5... though that ones 5+ years later, and it's not only the beginning that's pink, but the character is pink




...and this was my first adventure game I ever played...

Whew! I just realized I hadn't checked this thread today and was worried it had been guessed and an easy one had gone up.

But fortunately I still haven't got a clue what game this is.
