Characters will also join up (and have the annoying habit of leaving you whenever the plot felt like it) during your adventure. Combat was fairly orthodox (and happened a lot), but also had the nice feature of letting players pick whoever you wanted to act out of sequence.

It also wouldn't be a BoF without dragons! And here, BoF3 introduced a new system with "dragon genes". Once you awaken to your power, you would eventually collect different "genes" and mix them in combos to unlock new forms to change into (just make sure no one is standing next to you!).

The game received a mixed batch of reviews with praise for its gameplay while noting rough edges like the awkward dialog. There was plenty to grind through, with tons of beasties (though not too much variety!) to blast into fleshy puddles and a skeleton of a story. You could also save anywhere!

Amulets & Armor (1997) | action RPG | PC platforms | United Software Artists and Exiguus Entertainment Envisioned as an MMO for BBSes, it later shifted to a single player experience. But Issues limited its run to only 100 copies, revived years later as a free download by one of its programmers!

Legends II was largely like its predecessor with a bit more polish such as a new inventory system and showing experience points instead of a vague sense of leveling from surviving fights. Combat was also a bit more brutal as death now forced you to restore from a save instead of just hobbling off.

Shadowrun (1994) | RPG | Sega Genesis | BlueSky Software There are a few ways to make creds in this adaptation of FASA's spells and cyberpunk world of 2058. You could check the local fixers for various contracts. Or use a public jack to subtly crack deadly ICE in cyberspace for sweet paydata!

Tangled Tales (1989) was an adventure game and RPG hybrid for PCs like the Apple II by Origin Systems. After an accident with adamantine dust and a squirrel, your master, Eldritch, punishes you by erasing your spellbook before giving you a chance at redemption! (a tangled thread)

The interface was icon driven and your status was also displayed with descriptive text instead of crunchy digits. You moved around using the top-down map in the upper right and the left window gave a graphic view of the area. Big icons for what you can do were shown below that window.

Its ingredients also featured an environmental theme. Like a Captain Planet baddie, Bio-Hazard Harry (Bio-Haz in the game) is seeking to pollute the Kingdom of Greene. During your quest, you'll also deal with things like exposing a corrupt politician and journey to places like the Empire of Sushi!

It was published by Softdisk as part of their "disk magazine" offering which was popular back in the 80s and early 90s. Even John Carmack of id fame would publish a few of his RPGs through it at one point before introducing everyone to Blazkowicz' Nazi-stomping action and multi-story cyberdemons.
