Overlooked Gaming Gems: RPG and Adventure Titles

Although the title of this new Good Old Games article suggests that we're going to hear about several underrated role-playing games, it really only briefly mentions the RPG elements that are present in King's Quest: Mask of Eternity before devoting a single paragraph to PyroTechnix's Return to Krondor.
To stay in the RPG mood, the next game we'd like to highlight is Return to Krondor - a true, classic RPG, involving completing quests, collecting loot, upgrading your hero and... having fun as an alchemist! As in pretty much all RPGs you're a hero. This time you're saving the world for goodness as Squire James of Krondor. Your enemy is the fierce and evil Bear and your job is to save the world. Sounds like randomly generated story? You can't be more wrong. As you go further in your quest to find and defeat the evil Bear it becomes clear you've gotten yourself into far more complex and greater quest than you thought, but we'll leave that for you to check for yourselves. The additional touch which makes this game even better is the fact it's set in Raymond E. Feist's world of Midkemia. The game is a must-play if you're into classic RPGs.
