One of my first games ever beside a plethora of others, played it on my Apple ][e before I knew about D&D (living in Brazil) It's very simple but at the same time entertaining and fun

It was at this time that one Sanada Yukiaki appeared, the descendent of Sanada Yukimura who had bared his fangs at Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Tahl: Uncover the Evil Within
Tahl: Uncover the Evil Within"Tahl": Uncover the Evil Within is an isometric action RPG dungeon crawler where the player fights against hordes of ghosts and demons from East Asian mythology using point-and-click controls. There is no safe hub, so the player has to survive using the loot gained from enemies alone. This makes the game close to a roguelike, even though the dungeons are not randomly generated.
