The disparate elements of the spell system,
shoot-'em-up and map don't quite come
together fully but there is enough here to keep
most players busy for a long time.
Charming and quite playable, but suffers in the
area of game design and interface. The game
world is big, but lacks focus. This sort of game
has been done more successfully elsewhere
(try Ultima VI if you want a more sophisticated
game of this type), but there is still some
gaming mileage to be had in Faery Tale.
Nothing that you haven’t seen a million times
before. A bit on the easy side. Fun for a bit?
Yeah, I suppose. Likely to play it for a
prolonged period? Nah, probably not.
An involved game that includes exploration,
colony building, mining, resource management,
ship building, defence, attack and a
whole host of other strategy stalwarts. Some
more thought on the interface and some of the
general design would have improved it considerably,
but a worthy effort nonetheless.
Art truly meets the computer game in an
elegant, charming and very playable
offering. Highly recommended.
A wildebeest sub-game adds some variety to
Simba’s quest, but it’s still all a bit samey to
play. The atmosphere is lovely and controlling
a lion in two stages of life is a nice touch.
There’s enjoyment to be had, but don’t expect
to be going back to it after the first time. A
soulmate of Aladdin.

There have been many pretenders to the
Dungeon Master throne but this is the first
game that has taken the genre to a whole new
level. The sheer level of detail and atmosphere
is breathtaking. This is the game your Amiga
was made for. It’s stunning!

Reasonable conversion of the arcade blaster,
which ultimately doesn’t quite come off due to
the limitations of the control system. Good:
simultaneous two player mode is there. Bad:
crap sound. No continues, so unfairly difficult
to complete.

A classic title. Every RPG fan should play this
game. The game has its own specific atmosphere
and mood. Although the sequel to Ishar
is much better in terms of graphics, sound and
playability, the first part is a “must-see” to be
able to experience the whole story.

A classy and atmospheric take on the gangster
era with reasonable sub-games and a fair
degree of interactivity.

One of those unique Amiga game experiences
that, although essentially Dungeon Master,
manages to stake its claim and be sufficiently
different to other games of the genre. It’s big,
bold and worth the exploration and dedication
required to progress.

An epic and detailed journey through Tolkien's
Fellowship of the Ring which is often let down
by a lack of speed and a slightly clunky interface.
