I spent a good chunk of today playing the 1986 MS-DOS RPG game Shard of Spring.
There's some things I don't like about it (can't sell items, some interface and pacing issues, ugly 4-colour CGA, etc...), but I like the simple but challenging nature of this game, especially in combat, so I'm happy with what I'm playing.
I'm especially impressed at how it was apparently made in BASIC, even if it's kinda slow.
