What is the Apple IIGS? > Role Playing Games

The original Questron can be found as an 8-bit Apple II version. The IIGS conversion stalwarts, Westwood, handled the Questron II conversion.

Questron II is an RPG similar to that of Ultima, whereby the game's perspective is a top down view. Simple key commands allow your created character to interact with their environment. From the game's main menu, there is a very helpful instruction guide and a demo for you to watch and understand how the game plays (not that it's difficult) so if you've got any queries, simply take a look at the instruction menu.

I've barely played the game myself having more recently obtained a copy, but the game looks promising. Simple animation is supplied to your character and other inhabitants that break the rather stale look to Ultima. The tile-based graphics are colourful and well drawn without getting too unnecessarily elaborate. Gameplay looks pretty smooth even at a stock IIGS pace. The game's worth a look anyway.
