Dungeon Master on the Amiga started this type of game, but Black Crypt expanded on it with more colors, and a wider variety of monsters, spells, and items. A true gem from the Amiga vault!

This is the game that started my love of the Dungeon Crawl. I played on the Amiga 500 plus and it played it through again and again. I wish GOG would bring Black Crypt back. I can't remember it ever being on PC 😕

One of two most important RPG games of my young gamer life! Great loots, monsters, puzzles... What a great game! I would be very happy, if I'll have oportunity, to play it once again!
After playing Eye of the Beholder 1 and 2, and absolutely loving them, I thought I would give BC a try. I'm glad I did. Absolutely loved it! The automap was great, and I fondly remember running around the level below the two headed fellow, getting chased by these bloody tough invisible caterpillar type things. Thank God I found the mask of true sight after a while, so I could see them. This needs aPC release without delay!
This game blown me up ages ago, on Amiga 600: the music felt epic, the game looked so good and immersive... I was a little 10yo child while watching it being play by my brother, and I loved every single moment of it on the TV. Deserves a place on GoG absolutely, as well within Shadow Caster. Both games have been precursors of Heretic and Hexen saga.
Those games also need your vote!
The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age
The Lord of the Rings: The Third AgeThe Lord of the Rings:The Third Age introduces entirely new characters which aren't mentioned in the books or movies. The game does relate to the movies by including scenes from all three movies, with new background speech by Ian McKellen (Gandalf). There are seven playable characters in the game which have been created specifically for it, as well a small appearances by characters such as Gandalf, Aragorn, Eowyn, Faramir, and Gothmog. The game covers events in all three movies/books, mostly with references to major events shown through cut scenes, or the scenes from the movies with Ian McKellan's narration. A classic RPG game, The Lord of the Rings: The Third Age has gameplay elements similar to Final Fantasy, where you have a party of characters, each with a different set of skills and attributes, who gain levels, making them stronger as the game progresses. Battles are turn-based, and let the gamer make different decisions on what they want to do to change the outcome of the battle. The game travels through many areas throughout Tolkien's Middle Earth, including The Pelennor Fields and Moria.

Black & White 2
Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.
