Great Greed (1992) by Namco was an RPG released for the Nintendo Game Boy with some of the greatest NPC names ever put in a cartridge. Helping to check acid rain levels, you are suddenly whisked away by magic to another world where you must battle the evil Bio-Hazard Harry! (a shortcake thread)

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!

Cosmic Fantasy 2's presentation added plenty of gloss over its gameplay, garnering fans and even a limited reprint years later for the Nintendo Switch in 2024. And like the TG-16 CD version of Ys I & II, Cosmic Fantasy 2 became another cutting edge example of the kind of CD magic that was possible!

Telenet's RPG stood out in making use of the CD format enabling voiced, anime-styled cutscenes to punctuate key moments with a solid soundtrack. For the time, it was the kind of bleeding edge multimedia that aimed to immerse players even deeper into the game's atmosphere, wowing audiences.

Combat was turn-based and didn't award experience (only gold). Fortunately, death isn't the end as Eldritch will bring you back in case that happens with a slight scolding. Getting hurt in combat, like being bruised, can even affect your stats like lowering my Charisma to Offensive. Yikes.

As for James Schmalz, the indie dev that created the Legends of Murder series, he continued to make games years afterwards eventually founding Digital Extremes who worked on such memorable titles such as Unreal Tournament with Epic to building the space ninja fashion paradise of Warframe!

Wibarm mixed 2D action and 3D exploration. Defeating enemies earned stat improvements (Ability and Mental), different enemies were vulnerable to different weapons, and players were free to explore and leave areas if they were unprepared. You could even 'see' encounters and use an automap!

PoPoLoCrois Monogatari (1996) | RPG | Sony PlayStation | G-artists and Sugar & Rockets Adapting Yohsuke Tamori's manga series, you take on the role of the courageous Prince Pietro in a quest to take back his father's stolen crown as the first of many adventures filled with fantasy and friendship.

Dragon Scroll - Yomigaerishi Maryuu (1987) | action RPG | Nintendo Famicom | Konami The adventure cast you as the Gold Dragon, given human form by a god, who must recover eight magic books taken by thieves! Little did they know that by stealing the books, they had also awakened a terrible evil...

Legends of Murder: Volume One - Stonedale Castle (1989) by James Schmalz was an RPG murder mystery for DOS PCs. Wait! Murder you say? Indeed, for the king lies dead and you, as a famous Inspector, must explore the castle, talk to NPCs, find clues, and discover his killer! (an it's elementary thread)
