Rules for List #1:
- No cRPGs that have released for PC.
- cRPGs exclusive to consoles will be listed under the appropriate console platform.
- cRPGs available but not exclusive to consoles but not available on PC will be listed under the appropriate non-console platforms.
- Acceptable platforms: No PC. Platform must have been released by 1995 or earlier.
- The release year of the game does not matter. There are still games being made for these platforms in the style of the older games.
- Being available on multiple platforms is fine, as long as it doesn't break rule #1.
- A title being emulated on a platform does not count as a release for that platform.
- It must be a cRPG.
"Amstrad CPC"
lol, frogs. I'll get to this eventually.
- Mindstone (1986) (Also available on ZX Spectrum.)
- Swords & Sorcery (1986) CA (Also available on ZX Spectrum)
Took a quick look at the Amstrad CPC, this is what I found:
Deffo cRPGs:
Black Land (1995) [Claims to be the biggest RPG made for an 8-bit platform. Came on two disks, which was rare. Exclusive to the Amstrad CPC.]
Faial - Chevalier du Levant (1986) [Mostly text-based, frogspeak only.]
Le Fer d'Amnukor (1986) [Frogspeak only. Also released on the Oric, the Thomson MO5 and the Thomson TO7.]
Fer & Flamme (1986) [Neat graphics for its age, frogspeak only, a two-disk adventure.]
Inquisitor: Shade of Swords (1987) [Uses a bizarre icon-driven interface. Frogspeak only. Exclusive to the Amstrad CPC.]
Le Maitre Absolu (1989) [Sequel to '
Le Maître des Âmes' (Disqualified), I'm uncertain whether this game was released on other platforms. Frogspeak only.]
Mandragore (1985) [Just pointing out it's also on the Amstrad, plus a few more obscure platforms.]
Omega: The Invisible Planet (1987) [Seems very similar to Mandragore. Only available in French and German. Unknown if other versions exist.]
The Shadows of Sergoth (2018) [Dungeon crawler, an Amiga-version is currently in development.]
Les Templiers d'Orven (1986) [Frogspeak only.]
The Sword of Truth (19??) [Very little info on this one, but it can't be anything else than a cRPG.]
Tyrann (1985) [Looks like a RPG alright. Frogspeak only.]
Le Voyage de Nephi (2021) [A very light dungeon crawler, based on a French comic.]
Warrior (1986) [An updated version of a game with the same name. Frogspeak only.]
Not sure if cRPGs, need checking out:
Aventures au Chateau (1985)
L'Anneau De Zengara (1987)
Haruspice (1992) [Unfinished prototype. Unknown how playable it is.]
Lords of Chaos (1990) [An oddity. It's a turn-based strategy game where you control a wizard who summons units to do battle for him. The thing is, the Wizard has stats, can gain levels and grow in power, which is needed to conquer the five available scenarios. 8-bit releases and 16-bit releases differ somewhat in gameplay. Also has hot-seat multiplayer mode.]
Le Manoir de Rochebrune (1985)
Metro 2018 (1985) [Unsure if RPG or '3rd-generation adventure game' as the game calls itself. Also unsure if related to the newer Metro-games.]
The Ring of Darkness (1985) [Unsure if RPG or graphic adventure with a parser.]
Shadowfire (1986) [Unsure if RPG with a bizarre icon-interface, or a batshit-crazy game like 'Frankie Goes to Hollywood', which is almost everything BUT a cRPG.]
Sortileges (1986) [Looks like EGA Trek, unsure if RPG.]
Space Base (1986) [Unsure if text-only RPG or a text-adventure with extra features.]
TheSaurus: Dungeon's Revenge (1986) [Unsure if RPG or graphic adventure. Frogspeak only.]
The Sword of Ianna (2020) [It's a side-scrolling platformer where you hack monsters to bits and solve simple puzzles. But it also has customizable weapons, hit points and level progression via XP, so... Action RPG?]
Turlogh le Rodeur (1988) [Very unorthodox game, involving visible dice rolls. Unsure if RPG. Frogspeak only.]
Zelda (1991) [Doesn't appear related to the Zelda-games, unsure what to make of this one.]
NOT a cRPG, despite being labelled as such:
Back to the Golden Age (1991) [Reason: Side-scrolling arcade-adventure]
Knightmare (1987) [Reason: Pseudo-isometric arcade-adventure. A different game from the Knightmare cRPG on the 16-bits, but based on the same IP.]
EDIT: Updated post with more titles.
