Swords and Sorcery by PSS is an early RPG that was way ahead of its time (it having been first released in 1985), and also surprisingly tense and feature-packed, considering that it fit in to only 48K of memory.

Still quite playable – even now – and still manages to raise a laugh, with its character taunting (although this does seem quite random).

Swords and Sorcery is a brilliant proto-RPG – one of the very best early Role-Playing Games.

Dead, but given another chance.

I can see a figure at the end of the corridor.

Who’s a “piece of dung”?!
