I see I struck out with my "Any other Alternate Reality Fans" thread, so I'll try a different, slightly more recent RPG-- "Ishar" by Silmarils.

I never played the first game in the series ("Ishar: Legend of the Fortress"), but I really thought "Ishar 2: Messengers of Doom" was a great RPG (yes, it had its share of flaws, most notably the bad translation to English, resulting in everything sounding like some sort of cryptic clue, but I still liked it.) Its sequel, "Ishar 3" wasn't quite as good, but it still occupied a lot of my time. Anyone else ever play this series? What did you think of it?
