The Bard's Tale II: The Destiny Knight
RPG
April 23, 1988
Although the destruction of the power of Dark Mangar brought the inhabitants of Skara Brae the longed-for peace of mind, the fantastic world known from The Bard's Tale was still in danger. This time, another wizard, Lagoth Zanta, turned out to be the leader of misfortune.
Might and Magic II: Gates to Another World
RPG
December 1, 1988
A sequel to the well-received RPG by New World Computing, considered one of the milestones in the genre’s development. The action of Might and Magic II: Gates to Another World takes place directly after the events of its predecessor. When it turns out that the vile Shaltem escaped to the world of Cron thanks to a mysterious portal, a party of heroes has to follow him and stop him once more. They will be helped by his greatest enemy — Corak, whom we know from the original Might & Magic. The action is presented from the first-person perspective and takes place both in an open world as well as in cities and narrow dungeons. Yet again, we control a party of six adventurers—although this time we have two additional slots for party members and can also import heroes from the original game. The production is enriched with two new professions, innovative class-specific quests, new skills and spells as well as enhanced graphics.
Wizardry IV: The Return of Werdna
RPG
December 15, 1988
The fourth part of the cult RPG Wizardry series, bringing a lot of changes in the mechanics of the game. Players play the role of the sorceress Verdna, defeated in the first part of the game, who, regaining her powers, decides to take revenge for the wrongs she has suffered. The game has given up the system of gaining experience, replacing it with the need to collect magical pentagrams, allowing you to summon ever stronger monsters.

The fifth full-fledged version of the Wizardry series, which is a return to the solutions used in the original trilogy. The player again leads a team of daredevils who have to cross the underground corridors to find and summon Gatekeeper, imprisoned by the evil sorceress Sorn.
