First person RPGs?

[runequester]

Pretty big fan of these games in the style of Eye of the Beholder / Dungeon Master.

Looking for some recommendations. I've played the EOB games, dungeon master (never got into this one so much), the Black Dawn games and Hired Guns.


Ones I am wondering about are:
Crystal Dragon
Perihelion
The Ishar series.

Any suggestions and comments on the above games or others I have missed?

I tried Perihelion once but had a really hard time getting into it. May need to hunt down manuals for it.

It looks awesome though, for sure.

How is Captive?

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.

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.

Not sure if I'd classify all of those as RPG's but thanks for the list

Was Ultima I and II ever released on the amiga?

[runequester]

well, since I had previously messed around with Black Dawn and enjoyed them, I tossed myself into Black Dawn 2 and Legions of Dawn. Good stuff. Very "Hired Guns" feeling, and very creepy

Well, with over 12 million players around the world, including many famous people, World of Warcraft is THE first-person RPG to date.  Now, I can not even look at those old RPG games, because compared to WoW, they look dated and are boring to play.  The only other RPGs that I do play and really enjoy are Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance 1 and 2 and Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel on the XBOX.  I also enjoyed playing Champions of Norrath and Champions Return to Arms on the PS2.  With graphics like this I could never go back to playing any Amiga RPGs.
 
Why don't you Amiga programmers out there start making games like these for the Amiga?

Have fun with your games, and I'll have fun with mine.


What really is the point of your post ?

I am asking for something pretty specific. Why spend the time to post "I think that sucks, you should play something entirely different instead" other than trolling?

I don't get it.

If you mean this game:

then it seems completed, and is available as "abandonware".
Seems pretty good too!

I was never much into RPGs, although i enjoy them. But I´ve ever been more of a point-and-click adventure kind of guy. Love them!

Games like Curse of Enchantia, Lure of the Temptress, Beneath a Steel Sky, The Clue!, Cruise for a Corpse, etc. Those where the times!!

I´m also a big fan of Darkmere, Cadaver, and other isometric adventures, and really liked to play EOB and Hired Guns.

big fan of adventure games but I am absolutely terrible at them

Did manage to beat Beneath a steel sky and Secret of Monkey Island without cheating but thats about it
