The Faery Tale Adventure - Amiga - Gaming Memories And Review

Wondrous exploration in a non-linear open world setting, an action RPG before that genre was even a thing. Beautiful grasslands, farms, forests, deserts, mountains and more, three brothers set out to save the land of Holm. Gameplay that resembles Zelda, graphics which stand with Ultima VII years later, this one is an Amiga original! An early one at that, and it deserves to be talked about a lot more than it has been. I read from the manual, show off reviews from the era along with best of placements, and show comparisons with every other version of the game.
