I was talking with a couple of folk recently about old games. Two games came up in particularthat wl remembered from the in box extras. Both were C64 RPG’s First had a space setting. Most of the screenshots showed a top down view of a stick man for planetside stuff, but a 3D view for space combat. The one thing we all remembered was that the box came with a some card cut outs to make your own models of some in game ships. This was a game that, at the time, I wanted but could not find. The second one (which I did own at the time) was a more traditional rpg. The game showed your character as a stick figure while overland, but the view switched to 1st person in the dungeons. The main points for this second game were a paper map, that came with stick-on labels for the in game towns and dungeons. So as you found them, you had to put the stickers on the map to remind yourself where they are. Other things I remember: 1. You could rob the towns store-keepers, as long as you could fight your way out after. 2. If you killed a monster you could cut it into food (but sometimes it would make you sick), 3. there were a bunch of casinos that had mini games to boost your cash. Do these sound familiar to anyone? ---

2nd one could be Questron or Legacy of the Ancients. ---

Second one sounds like Legacy of the Ancients. Was the premise that you had entered a museum of some sort and were accessing past times through the exhibits? ---

I followed one of the links you guys gave and found [Legend of Blacksilver](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legend_of_Blacksilver). I’m sure this was #2. Sorry **Luke** but the other one was definately pure sci-fi. I guesss it’s back to scouring the screenshots on the abandonware sites to find it. ---

In that case, do you recall [a top-down navigation screen](http://www.mobygames.com/game/c64/space-rogue/screenshots/gameShotId,123679/)? ---

[This screen seems very familiar.](http://www.mobygames.com/game/c64/space-rogue/screenshots/gameShotId,123676/) I think this may well be it. Cheers **Lute Skywatcher** ---

That was actually the first thing I thought of but decided against it until Legend of Blacksilver give me a year to work from.
