by Legend Entertainment
Genres:Role-playing (RPG), Adventure, Puzzle, Point-and-click
Themes:Fantasy
Game modes:Single player
Story:Shannara is a computer game released in 1995 for DOS and Microsoft Windows. It is based on the Shannara series of books by Terry Brooks. The game has some elements taken from RPGs, such as top-down world-map traveling and occasional turn-based battles. However, there is no real role-playing system in the game (statistics, experience points, levels, etc.). The battles serve to emphasize the danger of traveling the wilderness, or appear as story-related events; sometimes, they are treated like puzzles, with specific actions leading to victory.Show more

It was one of my first adventure games and I loved it. I was very young and it took forever to get to the end, but it was worth it. The mix of genres, like classic point and click, the travelmap with combat mode and the music warms my heart when I think of it.
