Okay, this is a long shot because I have very little information to give and I doubt anyone can help me.
But here goes.
When I was in Hawaii back in 88-89, I saw some really awesome game shops and picked up a great deal of obscure gaming material.
One thing I really liked but let go of when I left was a medieval role playing game.
I can't for the life of me recall the name of the game or the publisher.
The game was from the years I have mentioned, maybe a year or two earlier.
It was largely a historical role playing game with some mythological elements. It came in a large, very plain rectangular gray box coated with some kind of rough heavy textured cardboard--not big on illustrations as I remember. The inside of the box, was I believe, covered with blue paper.
The rules pages were loose leaf and had a ringed binder you clipped them into.
The illustrations were highly stylized, mostly silhouettes, of knights, castles, princesses, etc.
The font was like the old type writers. The print was rather small.
I believe it ran on a d6 system and characters could play a knight or a magician for the most part but it allowed for introducing other character types if you wanted.
I do remember a prominent illustration of a magic fountain somewhere in the book or on the box, and maybe a logo of a knight for the game company.
Does any of this ring a bell with anyone at all? I don't remember a whole lot about the game except that I was very intrigued by it and never got to understanding how it was played. I am 100% certain it was not from any of the major gaming companies usually associated with the older games--well, make that 80% certain...
Anyway, its been in my thoughts a few times in the last couple months and I'd like to find it again.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
