Hello,
This is something I've been struggling for a few years(!). I remember I used to play an RPG game around 1999-2000. I believe it ran on DOS.
Gameplay:
I'm not exactly sure, but I *THINK* the gameplay was rogue-like. I'm not 100% sure here! I would move with the arrow keys, and just "move" into the direction of enemies until they were killed. It had a gold system that I could buy things with(?). The game had NO party system, and NO 3D-Dungeon mode. The starting map is very green, with a castle and trees near you. I think it also had Ultima-style menu screen, where you press the buttons to select them: (S)tart, (C)reate, etc. But then again, maybe not...
Graphics:
Pretty DOS-y. Top down 2D. I remember green, and the text "GOLD" being there somewhere. The "avatar" you play as is what I remember most vivedly. It looks similar to the Avatar in Ultima 1, 2 and 3. The sword graphic on the avatar is rather long, almost like a sabre. It was also carrying a shield. The avatar graphic was static, I think. Another thing I remember vividly is that the avatar was long, unlike the avatars in Ultima.
It looks very similar to the Ultima Avatar... But the character is longer (Vertically) and the sword is much longer and curvier.
The game wasn't one exe file, it had a bunch of files. Also, the entire game fit onto a floppy. I remember doing this.
Some of you may think that it's a remake (or an original) of Ultima. You may be right, but I tried Ultima 1-4, and they are very similar, but were not it. The game I played had no party system (you were solo).
So, can anyone help me out with this? This has been driving me mad for the past few years.
Please help me remember!
