Reminiscing about an old game...

[skypilot]

I remember I had the demo, probably in the late 1990's... I think the game company was something like "US Games", but that might be totally off.

Anyways, it was a first-person RPG of sorts, with equippable weapons, armor and the like. Not sure if you could play as a magic user or other class... You started out in an "alley", and when you went forward and turned right, and went forward again, you would see a castle courtyard to your right, with mages shooting magic balls at you.

In the castle, you could go up to the tower and kill the mage, and there were various rooms with food you could pick up. Beyond that, I know there was a dungeon.

Anyone have any idea???

Sounds like one of the elder scrolls series to me - I remember my old roommate playing one of those around 1996-1997.

Witch haven?

Bump? Tried older ES + Witchaven, but both were not it.

Could be Lands of Lore

 

[Wapp]

Ultima Underworld?

 

[Dethfrumbelo]

Wizardry 7/8? Eye of the Beholder series?

I'm pretty sure I've played the demo of that game from a pc gamer cd. Don't remember the name though : (

Tried all suggested... nothing like it! Ayashi, I wish you could remember!

Was it that Doomish game? Raven, or some crap like that. Pretty much the old Doom engine set in a dark ages universe.

Hexen.

Yeah, thats the name. Heretic was another I was thinking about.

 

[tarak]

Maybe Might and Magic VI

It was Amulets and Armor! Good stuff; thanks for the tips, all.

Heretic was the predecessor. Man, I loved Hexen though. Awesome game.
