No, it was not Ambermoon, not TrappedI/II, nothing mentioned above.
I dont know if it ever made it to a commercial product. But it was damn good and athmospheric. It was outdoor, a small smurfish like Village and a lake, and some 2D sprites. Moving was fullscreen and like in Doom. GFX went 2x2 when you moved, and rendered the missing pixels when you stopped to look 1x1. Thats the main technical feature I remember.
The name had something to do with "abandoned", IIRC, but I am not sure.

Knightmare. It was a great variant of Dungeon Master. Your characters advanced in class based on how much they used the weapons or spells of any given type: So if you wanted your wizard to become a better fighter, you gave him a samurai sword to use. You weren't limited to one class per character.

Also, it had the theme music from the TV show AND gets bonus points for omitting that annoying Pickle creature who was in the later series.

Alternate Reality is a similar game that has a bit of a following.

Not really a "First Person" style game but The Faery Tale Adventure is the best RPG ever for the Amiga IMHO... :)

Ah, reminds me of Lands of Lore for the PC, which was one of the last "eye of the beholder" style of games I played.

I always enjoyed playing Strife, recently played through the game again using zDoom, presonally, I think the S.T.A.L.K.E.R series and Fallout 3 are the epitome of FPS RPG.

Can't disagree there. I had my doubts about F3 when it was first announced. They soon disappeared :)

Ultima I & II do exist (seek and ye shall find...) for the Amiga, a quick read of the docs explains that they were in fact  written and released as PD by someone who wished to complete the Ultima series on the Amiga, so therefore Ultima I & II for the Amiga do exist, even though they may not have been written by the same company who released the others... :)

It even mentions in the docs the fact that these were not written by the original developer and were written quite simply by someone who was an Ultima fan and wished to make available the complete Ultima series to Amiga fans. The creator of I & II even goes on to say "sue me" if the original creator of the Ultima series was not happy with them and as far as I recall, no-one was ever sued, so it seems everyone lived happily ever after...  the end. :)
