Tangled Tales is much like an adventure game with RPG elements and turn-based combat thrown in for a bit of flavor It also made things more interesting with its menagerie of colorful NPCs. And true to its title, fairy tale cameos mix things up for a bit of humor and adventure.

Small, compact areas filled with monsters and obstacles make up the quest, leveling helps to bump your stats (attack, armor, and health), and there are even NPCs, weapons, and health saving food to be found. You even have magic that improves with use. As you level, you also unlock additional spells.

Stardust Crusaders with aishsha created an unofficial English patch and released it in 2015. Originally titled Kininkou Maroku Oni, this portable adventure was a straightforward, bare bones RPG to scratch that dungeon crawling itch.

Legends of Murder Vol 2: Grey Haven (1991) by James Schmalz was a CRPG for DOS PCs. While not a direct sequel to the first game, it was once more set in the same world where you, as a famous Inspector, are confronted with a new, deadly case at a prestigious school! (a battle detective thread)

Gauntlet II (1986) | dungeon crawler | arcade | Atari Games A year later, Atari delivered even more dungeons with a sequel! Players could now choose the same character (party of Wizards anyone?), introduced new maps with features like invisible walls, and still reminded you not to shoot the food.

Great Greed often felt aimed at welcoming first-time adventurers with easy-to-learn RPG mechanics, automatic and manual saves, and there was even a light walkthrough in the manual. A friendly, portable, otherworldly quest with a recipe for an adventure with multiple toppings, er, endings!

Promising "Myth, Magic and Mirth", Tangled Tales strove to deliver on those points with plenty of adventure, unserious NPCs to aid in puzzle solving, and less emphasis on combat and more on actually completing quests. An interesting side quest by Origin from their RPG archive!

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.

Silviana: Ai Ippai no Boukensha (1988) | action RPG | Nintendo Famicom Disk System | Pack-In-Video Instead of saving the world, Silviana just wants to find medicine for her mom! And even after living the adventurer's life, she can still come home to visit, giving her the strength to keep fighting.

Wibarm (1986) is an action shooter with RPG elements by Arsys first seen on the PC-88 in Japan. With your transforming mech, Wibarm, it's up to you to save the city from invasion! Regarded as one of the first RPGs to break away from grid-based movement with its 3D mazes. (a Thexder adjacent thread)
