Karyssia: Queen of Diamonds
Loranin, the rightful heir to the throne of Arduarin, has asked the protagonist to end the evil reign of Queen Karyssia. This will involve a long journey to reach Karyssia's castle and kill her. "ACE" gave it an overall review score of 695/1000, calling it certainly one of the better GAC games released by Incentive." Mike Gerrard of "Your Sinclair" wrote that "apart from a few careless screen layouts this is one of the best GAC games I've yet seen. The speech function is often limited to saying 'Hello' just to get a response from the characters, but I liked the way the authors seem to have successfully packed lots of features into the program. Highly recommended. "
According to "Popular Computing Weekly", apart from spell casting gameplay element, "the game is an average fantasy romp, OK, but not outstanding." On the other hand, a reviewer for "Crash" gave it an overall score of 87/100: ""Karyssia" is a fine adventure with many admirable features. The pretty 3-D graphics are thin on the ground, and the location descriptions aren't the most evocative I've read, but the plot, which unwinds along three separately loading parts, holds the attention marvelously."
