FAERY TALE ADVENTURE MEGADRIVE
The Faery Tale Adventure is a 1987 action role-playing video game designed by David Joiner and published by MicroIllusions for the Amiga, and later ported for the Commodore 64, MS-DOS, Genesis, and Macintosh. The MS-DOS version is titled The Faery Tale Adventure: Book I.The initial version was produced for the AMIGA 1000, which came widely available around 1986, and featured the largest game world to that date
The game's gameplay resembles that of Ultima VII (1992). At the time of its release, the game featured the largest game world yet (over 17,000 computer screens) with no loadings.
Each playable character has his strengths and weaknesses—Julian is a brave fighter, Phillip has luck and cleverness, and Kevin is gentle and kind. Each of these attributes would affect vital game stats and the success of the quest:
A high Bravery score contributes to Vitality ("Vit"), the characters health. It can be increased by slaying enemies.
Luck determines the number of times particular brother can be brought back from death if he is killed during the quest. If Luck runs out, the next brother must take up the quest.
Kindness is important for certain key chapters in the game. It can be increased by acts of kindness (such as giving alms to beggars).
The technique used to store such a huge world involved creating small-sized maps out of small shape-sized blocks. Those small maps were reused and fit together seamlessly to form larger areas. Loading is asynchronous, and will happen when nearing the boundary of an area, without affecting the smooth scrolling, animation, and music
The game is based around the quest of three brothers to retrieve the talisman stolen by the forces of evil and return it to their home village Tambry in the country of Holm. The player begins as Julian, the eldest of the three brothers; if unsuccessful with this character, they would then take control of Philip, the next oldest, then finally the youngest of the three, Kevin. Next to recovering the talisman, which is kept by an evil necromancer, the player must complete a number of additional tasks which ultimately prove vital to the quest - save the king's daughter, gain the aid of a sea turtle, and kill an evil witch in her castle - and gather a number of artefacts which enable access to the strange dimension in which the necromancer resides
