Very old game- cant remember what it was called.

[mattpegher]

I'm trying to remember an old rpg from the 80's.
Party based with I think about 6 characters all controlled by user.
Unusual races and classes not based on LOTR/standard mythos.

One race was a large winged character almost a dark skinned angelic type
Turn based.
Relatively simple graphics as I remember.

Any clues?

It wasn't those. I've played both series and they're the standard dwarf, elf, gnome, etc without any real odd races.

The later Wizardrys like Cosmic Forge and Dark Savant had some weird races like Faerie, Lizardardman, Felpurr, Mook and Dracon. If memory serves the character portrait for the Faeries was blue skin with wings, that could have been misconstrued as an angel.

It was available for PC but I played a much less impressive version on commodore 64.

The only thing I remember was the character equipment screen which was a full height depiction of the character with a panel to the right with available equipment. It was the first one I had come across that changed the character picture to show equiped armor and weapon.

The Winged character was some larger than human, very dark skinned winged creature. It had the usual multi-race multi-class format.

I remember the world view to be 3rd person top down or 3/4 view and 2D, at least on the C64.

I looked a few lists of titles available on the C64 which was a lot larger than I remembered. Unfortunately they weren't subdivided into game types.

This site has a lot of screenshots. I'd be curious to find out what game you're talking about. I was a big C64 RPG nerd.

Oh, and this is just RPGs in this list.
