Fond memories; absolutely holds up today
The thing I remember the most about the Questron games is how playable they were. Some other RPG’s of the time had mechanics steeped in obscurity and/or requiring physical books, length menus, and laborious load times. Not so for Questron (and if you can find it, the Legend of Blacksilver.) I played the originals on C64 and Amiga systems, and more recently through emulation. I found it just as enjoyable today. There is everything you want in a game of this era: dungeon crawling, random encounters and map exploration, spells and arcade-style fighting, a few fun (but humanely solvable) mysteries, and of course gambling. If you’re too good at gambling to afford better armor, watch out, because the town guard is going come get you.
Is this helpful to you?
