Developed by Strategic Simulations, Phantasie arrived on the Commodore 64 as a role-playing game.
It is part of the Phantasie series; on the C64 you can also try Phantasie II and Phantasie III. Strategic Simulations also made Questron, War of the Lance and Death Knights of Krynn for the C64.
Phantasie is a single-player game, so it's one to enjoy at your own pace.
Pick it if…
- you want to get lost in a long quest
- you have time for a quick session (under an hour, or endless arcade fun)
- you've played the C64 hits and want something less obvious
Maybe skip it if…
- you want instant action rather than menus, story and grinding
- you are looking for something to play with friends
What playing Phantasie is like
Role-playing games trade reflexes for strategy and story. You build a party, level up, manage equipment and travel across a large world, usually through menu-based battles.
Tip for newcomers: Retro RPGs can require some level grinding and rarely tell you exactly where to go next. Talk to every townsperson, save often and use a guide if you get stuck: there is no shame in it.
