Planet Bob - Playing The Faery Tale Adventure (Genesis)

[RSS Bot]

Hi there!

 

Another Genesis one for Bob!

 

 

And again it is an EA game. And again it is kind of an RPG

 

Unlike Starflight, this wasn't from EA originally, but converted from an Amiga game created by a company called Microillusions. And while I'm clueless how they got they're foot also into the door, there's also a "New World Computing" logo displayed at the start. You know, of "Might & Magic" fame.

 

The game itself is the usual fantasy setting brave knight game, basically a cross between early Ultima and Zelda games. I remember how it was hyped as one of the first "real" Amiga games, creating a real big world. IIRC it was advertised as having over 17.000 "screens".

 

Well, my first impression is that most of them are empty space

 

There also isn't too much story to follow, so for the start I was just wandering around and killing things, improving the character. Then I got me a map and started visiting interesting looking places... (like the one shown above )

 

Greetings,

Manuel
