Theldrow is yet another excellent amateur RPG that has remained largely unknown to PC gamers because it was released only as a Mac shareware game. A first-person perspective game similar to Bard’s Tale or Might & Magic series, Theldrow is an accessible RPG for beginners, but with enough complexities to entertain veteran gamers as well. The game shares many similarities with Roguelike RPGs in the amazing number of options and alternate routes. For example, you can try to steal items with various chances of getting caught. If you are caught, you are no longer welcome in that store. Add to that pleasant color graphics, intuitive interface, good writing, and fun adventure-game style puzzles, and Theldrow is a game well worth your time and effort. If you like the game, also check out the spiritual sequel called Cythera which is being published by Ambrosia Software. Highly recommended!
