Personal review

The classic 'Active Role Playing Game' by T&E Soft. As this is one of the first games of its kind, it's nog a very large or extended RPG, but considering the fact that it's from 1985, it's quite a nice one. When it was originally released, the game was loved by many and ways to solve Hydlide were widely discussed.

Explore Fairyland to take back the three legendary jewels, to defeat the evil demon Valarys and to save the princess. A classical story, a relatively small yet nice and challenging game.
