Can't be, unless he screwed up the year. HOMM 1 was released in 1995.
AsmodeanIm not sure what Baruk Khazad is , but if they speak Judeo-Dwarvish, that would be "blessed are the dwarves" - lord of the markComment

I know the first Ultima's were on the C64, 1990 would have been around Ultima V or Ultima VI I think.
I don't remember if they were TBS though.Comment

Nothing's even close yet, I'll post another clue later tonight.

HOMM's predecessor Kings bounty?Skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness. A more modest, realistic, and achievable goal is to encourage the idea that one may be mistaken. Doubt is humbling and constructive; it leads to rational thought in weighing alternatives and fully reexamining options, and it opens unlimited vistas.

I feel I have to give you another one. It's way to hard at the moment I guess. The game was part of a series (of sorts), but the other games wasn't strategy games.
1) Around 1990, strategy on C64 and PC
2) Heroes and artifacts plays a role in this TBS.
3) Part of a "series" of games that was not TBS-games.Comment

Perhaps War of the Lance? The other three Dragonlance games were a kind of adventure game.Skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness.

My God I've just got huge War of the Lance flashbacks too. This game makes me feel so old!

War of the Lance is correct!
I didn't think that anyone would get it that fast. Impressive as I didn't think the game was well known.
The other games in the series where classical RPG-games.Comment

Ok, somebody needs to remove a memory chip or two from CapTV so the rest of us have a chance...........Comment

Again!? Man, at this rate I need to clean out a room to place all those

Well, Kropotkin's clue no.3 was the magic number. At the time I was really into the Dragonlance series and any games about it. I would have loved to play War of the Lance but I never could find it.Skeptics should forego any thought of convincing the unconvinced that we hold the torch of truth illuminating the darkness.

Yeah, I read the books, played the games. As I remember it I really enjoyed War of the Lance. It was primitive in many aspects of cource but it had some elements that made it special.Comment

Plus Raistlin was a cool anti-hero/bad guy. I still see people online these days named after the Dragonlance characters.Comment
-
I thought Raistlin was just a variation on "raisin". And here I though all those people were health food freaks......Comment

Raistlin was super cool.
When I was (even) younger and (even) geekier I played as Raistlin in a Dragonlance D&D game with a group of mates. My best-friend played Rasitlin's muscle-bound brother, another guy who was really short and had a pony-tail played Tasselhoff. Good times....
I really identified with Raistlin for some reason. :scary:
I've also lost touch with almost all of those friends. *sigh*
