Legends of Valour (1992) was the grand daddy to the openworld sandbox fantasy RPG genre (mostly represented by the various Elder Scrolls games). Yet in its day (and even now) it was maligned as terrible game unfit for anyone's time or money. However in my opinion it is one of the most important games of all time and even in its slightly buggy, unfinished and graphically backward state of release still represented a diamond of a game, albeit perhaps a dirty uncut diamond.

Nevertheless this is a game that innovated so many of the features we now consider ubiquitous to the fantasy sandbox genre but before Legends of Valour had either not been seen or came in a very different form.

So let's set the record straight and acknowledge this near forgotten game as deserving of a place along side the all time gaming greats!

Legends Of Valour I salute you!
