An old RPG. With Minotaurs!
Hello, I've looking for this game for years and no one has been able to help me.
8-10 years ago, I had a collection of shareware games that came bundled together in a cd. The compilation was made by a local company here that went broke a long time ago. Anyway, I remember one of those games in particular, it was a sort of RPG, where you had to travel through labyrinths. I remember that each level of the dungeon was placed on a grid, of for example 20x20, where each square had a room and one or more exits, north, south, east or west. I also remember that you could get out of the dungeon and travel, using a map overview, to several towns where you could buy stuff. I remember one of those towns was a ghost town. I also remember the game had several different races to choose from, but I only remember Minotaurs. The version I had was a short demo, since the game was shareware. I'm sorry about the lack of details, but if anyone has any idea, I would be very grateful. Thanks! |
An old RPG. With Minotaurs!
This one has been driving me crazy for years.
Some 8-10 years ago I had a compilation of shareware games that came all together on a cd. That compilation was made by a small local company which has disappeared a long time ago. I remember one game in particular, an RPG/Adventure type of game, where you would choose a name, a race, and a couple of other things, and then appeared in a dungeon. I remember the dungeon had many levels, and that each level was a grid of, for example, 20x20, where each square was a room with exits north south east or west. I also remember that you could come out of the dungeon and travel, using a map overview, to different towns where you could buy stuff. I remember Minotaurs were one of the races, and also that one of the monsters you could encounter was a mimic that looked like a chest. The game I played was a short demo. Since the game came in a shareware package, I have no idea when it was published. I'm sure that it has to be pre-2000. The graphics were all very simple. If it rings a bell to anyone, please tell me! Thanks. |
Merged the two threads together since it's about the same game, and both have been posted today.
As for the game I have no idea what it could be...but it sounds interesting. |

Meaning: your description covers approx 75-90% of the RPGs I ever played. If you can't give some specific details for the game you're looking for it's gonna be a hard one to find. |
Well, I am doubt about 90% of RPGs. :) Not all RPGs have "room differentiation", and not all RPGs have chest mimics. :) And definitely not all of them starts in dungeon and have many towns. :) Actually, roguelikes would be prime suspected, but I cannot remember any RL with squared locations, except one, text-based, here on AB, but it is haven't cities. :(

He said that there is possibility to play as a minotaur, that might give a clue to some1.
In my case I have no idea. |
Now, I found a page about minotaur race being in AD&D first edition, furthermore, they are mentioned as Minotaurs of Krynn so I would assume that it might have been one of the games of the AD&D saga from Krynn.
Just a thought. EDIT: Champions of Krynn The dark queen of Krynn Death knights of Krynn |
You should write something about graphics, the view etc.
Considering the 20x20 levels in dungeons, it surely reminds of rouge-likes. Check these rogue-clones and comment graphics, presentation, anything that may come to mind. |

Another suspect is Mordor but it definitely haven't any cities except the first. |
