Fuzzy MemoryEvery once and a while, I receive emails from people looking for a certain game, electronic toy, or computer from their distant past. I then pass it on to intrepid VC&G readers to crack the case.

The Clues

Tammo writes:

Hi, i am looking for a game i played about 10 years ago and i cant remember the title of. It is an rpg/adventure game out of “250 Best Arcade Games” in 1998. It’s a top-down game where all monsters/npcs/items are represented by tile icons. It’s a d&d’esque game allowing the player to build a party of characters at the beginning and then level them up in their chosen class. Race is chosen also and one of the races is ‘nephilim’. It was a very expansive game world even in just the trial version. Sorry but i can’t remember any more details. I am looking for a place to download this game, if it exists anywhere.

Thanks you very much and i look forward to your response.

    Assuming it is Exile, Tammo can verify by downloading it here:

    It was “Exile” by Jeff Vogel, and it was boss.

    he still makes games – http://spidweb.com/

    Excellent work, folks. I think you’re probably right. Exile crossed my mind as well, but I last played it some 10+ years ago.

    Let’s see if Tammo tells us we got it right.
