Official description

İstanbul Efsaneleri (Legends of Istanbul) saga is a humourous fairy tale taking place in a fantasy world. It is comprised of fantastic and funny stories in a suspiciously contemporary-feeling setting which resembles the current world we live in, but with a twist.
This mystical city also known as "İstanbul" for short, is not only a fun setting with a potential of incredible incidents taking place in its dark alleys, where tragi-comic stories of adventure, suspense, love, betrayal and laughter are revealed, but also a fantasy land where "Silikon Baba" (Father Silicon), with his white beard, looks for adventurers from dawn till dusk and from dusk till dawn.
This strangely familiar city of "Istanbul" forms the basis of the legend, with its Maganda's, Memur's, Lavuk's (general stereotypes of people found in Turkish public life) and various other non-human races and monsters dwelling in its streets, extraordinary animals, meta-pyshical incidents and an aura of fun that encompasses it. The great history of this city, from the far past to the not-so-far future, is told in an absurd comedy style. This humourous fantastic history which stretches form the ancient times that are fading from memory to the times in a forseeable future, includes strange mythical events taking place anywhere in that stretch, barbarian raids, rabbit races, complicated conspiracies, wars taking place among the city dwellers, Cooncan parties (a popular pastime among the elderly) and of course amazing and unique stories about acts of heroism.

Editor note

The game takes place in a parallel world where various things from our past, both real and fantastic, are still around. The game notably makes user of digitised video of live action actors in 'period' sets and costume. The main mode and combat mode together look and function very similar to an AD&D Gold Box game.
