Galdregon's Domain	Pandora	1988	[22]* [52]*You take the role of a barbarian hero, who is unequalled in combat amongst the men of the northlands, however this quest will be, by far, your toughest trial. To play Galdregon's Domain successfully you must not attempt to kill all the creatures, human or otherwise that you meet, although your strength in combat is generally much greater than your opponents you cannot possibly take them all on and win. You must employ stealth and cunning to outwit your opponents. It may be necessary to run from a tribe of Hobgoblins so you can sneak around them to steal a gem. The basic aim of Galdregon's Domain is to recover the five gems of Zator and return the to King Rohan. Each gem is known to be held by one of five powerful creatures. You can be sure that the gem holders will be no push over, so before you attempt to take them on, try to gain some knowledge of their strengths ans weaknesses. The best source of information will be the local inns dotted about the countryside. There are many objects in the lands of Mezron that may aid, or hinder you in your quest, weapons such as the Great Two Handed Sword of the Stone Giants or the Daggers of Quarx. Magical items such as wands and cloaks will give you great power over your enemies and when the going gets tough casting a fireball from a scroll will give a decided edge. Potion bottles can also be found, some of which increase your strength others may contain poison. Other objects include plate metal armour and food.	Amiga

8 Eyes	Seta;Taxan (Thinking Rabbit)	1988	After hundreds of years of chaos, mankind has finally emerged from the ruins of nuclear war. This world of the distant future has once again flourished under the guidance of the Great King, who harnessed the power of the 8 Eyes to rebuild the planet. These strange jewels of power were formed at the eyes, or center, of the eight nuclear explosions which nearly destroyed the Earth. In the wrong hands, the 8 Eyes could cause untold destruction... And now, they have been seized by the Great King's eight Dukes, in a desperate bid to gain control of the world for themselves. They have banished the King to the nuclear wastelands, and already their squabbling threatens to plunge the world into war once again!

Dragonstomper	Starpath;Arcadia (Starpath)	1982	The story goes; a magician created an amulet that he could use to subdue the great dragon. On his way deep into the lair where the dragon slept, the amulet was lost and the magician was forced to leave without accomplishing his task. But the dragon found the amulet and used it to increase his intelligence and power. He recruited monsters and allied with evil men, terrorizing the surrounding kingdom. The king selected a dragon hunter to build up to become, "The DragonStomper". An actual RPG on the lowly 2600. Made possible by the Super Charger adapter that loads multiple portions of the game that is stored as digital audio data on a cassette. It even has two music clips. Uses the joystick for a menu based interface. The game has multiple 'locations', including an expansive The Wilderness, churches, villages, castles, wilderness huts, bridges, trading shops, magic shops, The Scorpion Pit and The Dragon's Cave. The game has 3 distinct modes corresponding to its three loads. [list][]Battling monsters to build up strength and become The DragonStomper. []Recruiting warriors to protect oppressed villages whilst buying, selling, and trading supplies. [*]Descending into The Dragons Cave, attacking it with a unit of warriors, and slaying it.[/list]This 3 step process is the recommended path, yet there are several alternatives that will work equally well (none of them are really shortcuts). For instance, if the player manages to find destroy the legendary amulet, the dragon will lose his power; after this, there is the choice of two more options. The Wilderness area is HUGH, considering most 2600 games were no more than 3 screens in size. There are no experience points or levels, rather stats can be directly improved (or lost) with items collected from defeated enemies. A Charm, Cross, Potion, Ring, or Staff will randomly: add strength and heal you, add dexterity, decrease strength, decrease dexterity, or reveal traps. An Axe and a Shield are the only weapons and armor available for use in The Wilderness. Keys can be used to open locked doors and treasure chests. Vitamins will restore strength. Elixir increases dexterity. Medicine protects against fever and acts as an antidote. Lanterns will reveal traps. A Rope or Chain can be used to descend into pits or into The Dragon's Cave. Rubies and Sapphires are more efficient than gold. Bow and Arrows can be used against the Dragon. The Flash spell will momentarily show all traps. The Vision spell will completely reveal traps. The Blast spell is for attack. The Protect spell makes to invincible to enemy attack for its duration. The Stun spell will stun enemies. The Unlock spell will dispel magic barriers. Was originally advertised as "Excalibur" but the name was changed before publishing. "The best title ever made in the history of U.S. videogaming." - Forbes Magazine November 2005 Without doubt, DragonStomper would have been the shaper of things to come as the first RPG on the 2600. With subsequent RPGs for the system having better graphics, music, cut sequences, and more in-game story and dialog. Multi-loading from cassette (or CD, first available the same year as this game) and/or more ROM and RAM in the cartridges, would have allowed for chapter structured gameplay and/or each location to have its own load, complete with talking characters and side quests. An audio CD with voice and game data, couple with second generation supercharger like device(s), would have effectively became the first CD drive for consoles and could have included voice for characters and/or many tracks of music. Alas, the videogame market crashed in 1983-84 and DragonStomper remains the only RPG for the system. A huge setback for game quality but a boon for game hardware because the 2600 officially hung around until 1992 with a relative few innovative games. More innovative games, especially RPGs, may have extended its life even longer and delayed the success of consoles with more capabilities.

Reviewer Rating: 5.0 Average Rating: 5.0/6 Description: There is no introduction text. You wander about a different Beginners Cave. Comment: This is a very adequate adventure for beginners and young Eamonauts. It has 46 rooms, one secret passage, one hidden treasure, one container, one magic potion, and one maiden to rescue. I encountered no death traps. The monsters were pushovers with my magic sword. There were a couple of nice special effects with monsters appearing in the room.

Prince of Persia	Brøderbund	1989	The source code (documented assembly language) was backed up to 3.5 disks and shelved by its creator in 1990. And then misplaced. After the search was long abandoned then unreadable disks were found. After a restoration effort, on April 7, 2012, Jordan Mechner published the source code on github. A vaguely stated licensed for "study, modification, running it, etc." was specified. This statement also emphasised that "Ubisoft alone has the right to make and distribute Prince of Persia games." But this source code actually remains licensed under its original license, which is fully proprietary, which by its by definition not legally available for study, modification, running, etc... So any body who studies, modifies, and/or then runs the code risks being sued, arrested, and/or jailed at some future date. Trademarks still apply (owned by UbiSoft), copyright is still in force, UbiSoft still retains exclusive license. Commercial use has not been expressly granted. In fact, no uses at all have been legally granted. The license fails to mention derivative works so copyright law is in effect for those. This means merely looking at the source code can taint (legally) any thing a developer ever does for the rest of their career and actually creating a derivative work would be illegal.***The original version. Trivia: Producer Jerry Bruckheimer expressed interest in creating a movie based on this game. In a 2007 interview he said "I guess it's the 8th or 9th Century, but that could change to. It might change a little bit, we're not sure yet. It'll definitely be a period film; we're not going to make it contemporary." In all fairness however, the reporter had lead him into this error by asking "Do you envision any challenges of trying to film in the mid ages? Is it the mid ages?" and there was also a writer's strike at the time. Tags: Mechner produced the unique animation style by studying reference footage of his brother preforming the character's acrobatics and roto-scoping said footage. The title and story strongly suggest this game takes place in the Achaemenid Empire, also popularly identified as the Persian Empire. This would 550 BC to 330 BC, well within classical antiquity; even likely with a liberal definition of the Persian Empire, (8th century BC to 651 AD). However, the game contains anachronisms such as the word "Sultan" and "Grand Vizier". Not surprising since it was influenced by Jordan Mechner's fascination with [i]A Thousand Nights and a Night[/i] tales which are themselves full of anachronisms. The player has 60 minutes (real-time limit) in which to rescue the princess (did). [Zerothis]	Apple II E
Super Quest	Softside	1982	[WIP] MSRP: $3 This game is massive by any standards at 1024 total locations. That is 4 times larger than the overworld and dungeons of The Legend of Zelda. Everything is in real-time and offers no other respite than a few sparely place shops. Shops are also the only place games can be saved. Strength is the only stat. It is increased in small random increments only by drinking strength potions bought from shops. Currency does not come from killing monsters but only from rare chests dispersed throughout the labrynth. Killing monsters gains XP which mainly counts as a high score (since winning the game is unlikley). Most screens have monsters that will be there every time you arrive no matter if you have defeated them previously. There are also random monster encounters that happen everywhere except shops, there is no pause to escape them or leave time to make your own map. Story: In a future on Earth with too much magic and too much technology, a one-of-a-king technomagical artifact was created to keep balance between the two. Being more powerful than it was intended, it stifled all change for either. A powerful king decided to used technology to hide and negate the effects of the artifact. With the artifact sealed away in a labyrinth of traps and unnatural guard creatures magic began overwhelming technology. 200 years later, a hero is chosen to brave the labyrinth and recover the artifact. Entering initials is explained in-game. Heroes are sponsored by nobles so when the hero is asked who their sponsor is, it's the player.	Apple II E
The Cave of the Mind	?	1984	[The following text is copyrighted by Eamon Adventurer's Guild Online and presented here word-for-word thanks to their generous terms] #3 - The Cave of the Mind by Jim Jacobson and Red Varnum Reviewed by Tom Zuchowski MAIN PGM Version: 4 Extra Commands: ENTER, UNLOCK, OPEN, DRINK Deleted Commands: UP, DOWN Special Features: None Playing Time: 15-30 min. Reviewer Rating: 3.0 Average Rating: 3.2/7 Description: "As you prepare for your next adventure, you meet a little man outside the Hall. He beckons you to see what he is holding. As you get closer, you notice a grail with a strange, bubbling green liquid within. In a strange low voice he says: 'Most adventures are for normal adventurers. But you are special, and should try the most challenging adventure you could imagine.' With a sly wink, he hands you the grail. You look at the potion, then back to the man --- but he has disappeared. Not being one weak on courage, you raise the grail to your lips and quaff the potion." Comment: This is definitely a beginner-level Eamon. It has much of the flavor of the original Beginners Cave, with a little humor and simple map and such. It is pretty small, with 26 rooms. Strictly for beginners and Hack'n'Slash fans. The difficulty will ring in at about (4) for beginners, and much lower for experienced characters with good weapons. [Zerothis]	Apple II E
The Dark Heart of Uukrul	Brøderbund (Digital Studios)	1989	This game has some interactive fiction, adventure and not yet defined elements. Players can visually search the room or listen find secrets, to get descriptions of the room, find riddles that hint at solutions to puzzles, and/or find clues to events in the nearby area. These are returned as text as the game has no sound whatsoever. Advancement must be confirmed by player actions. Crosses are not just symbols in this game, they are apparently melee weapons. Equipment can require a minimum level of experience and/or a minimum character attribute. Clerics must pray to cast spells (all one action). The petitioned god can grant the cast, not answer, or punish the character. These random responses seem to be based on the character's previous actions but the mechanism is unclear. The game is automatically saved much the same way as typical rogue-likes but a bit less often. Simply walking from one place to the next does not prompt a save, but reading a clue or resolving an encounter does. There is also a game "backup" save system. When a player is in a "sanctuary" they may manually create a second save. Experience is shared but most of it distributed unequally based on a character's participation. The mechanism is unclear. Killing blows and attacks delivering significant damage have the most reward. Other actions are rewarded as well no mater what the result. Every character still gets something even if they did not interact with the battle at all. For example, if the first move of a battle is the player's fighter killing a single foe with a single blow, all other party members will get at least 1 XP or more for a stronger enemey.***If a character sacrifices their life to save their fellows, they lose piety.
