Favorite Games - Fantasy Theme
« on: February 20, 2013, 01:37:34 pm »
I've been reading some of the Conan novels by Howard lately
and have been really getting into them.  I was wondering what
are some games that might fit well into this world/fantasy
setting.  Some that come to mind are

Rastan
Gauntlet (the fighter anyway)
Golden Axe
Warrior Blade
Magic Sword

others...?

Also if you're reading Howard, don't limit yourself to just Conan and Kull.

Some of my other favorites

Black Vulmea's Vengence  (Pirates)
Vultures of Wahpeton (Western)

Excellent suggestions, keep 'em coming!
I just tried Legend of Makai last night on my laptop (on a work trip, didn't have
access to my cab) and liked it well enough, even though I only got to play
as the chick.

I finished Wizard Fire w/ my daughter last weekend, that was a good one.
Looking forward to trying a few more of the suggested ones that don't strike
any recent memories...

Also, thanks for the Howard suggestions... I'm still just starting to read his work
so it'll be awhile.

Warzard!

Console games allowed?  Lords of Thunder for the Turbo CD is a shmup, so still an arcade-style game, one of the best.

Found a few more on my own:

Altered Beast
Legendary Wings

Is Dynamic Gear the same thing as Dyna Gear?

DynaGear is what I meant  :(

Sorry my phone's auto correct did that to me.

I don't have internet access at home right now cause I've been spending money griffindod style and can't pay my bills  ;D, so I had to make that post on my phone.

No worries.  Thanks for the clarification.

I finally played through Altered Beast for the first time, ever, today... what a hoot.
I also enjoyed but didn't finish Cadash and started playing Vandyke for the first time...
both winners.
