Genres:Role-playing (RPG), Adventure, Puzzle
Themes:Action, Fantasy, Comedy
Story:The adventure in which you are about to embark tells the story of how once upon a time a young boy named Quickthorpe set out a journey through the lost world of Balkhane. It is a Fable in one way, but in the 'trick of the tale', it's a strange adventure through a shattered world and a saga born out of the very sick mind of a man called Ismael.
Long ago in the mists of time lived the Mecubarz. Ancient and beautiful, powerful and wise they ruled absolute. Strange beings, magical creatures and humans lived together in peace and harmony, until greed destroyed it all. Ismael, a respected man, and revered by all, sadly had a heart that was hollow and bitter. He and four others plotted to overthrow the Mecubarz.
The Mecubarz' fury at the treason of Ismael and his men was cataclysmic. They trapped the four seasons and put them into impenetrable crystals, casting them to the four corners of the shattered world where they stood still and were held in an eternal dominion of ice, mist, water, and fire. The four traitors were exiled, but Ismael disappeared.
As Quickthorpe, an inexperienced adventurer, your quest is to explore the Four Lands of the Mecubarz in search of the mystical gems that will liberate your people. Keen observation, puzzle-solving skill and quick thinking are the abilities required to undertake this exciting but unpredictable task. Interact with a universe of characters which come to life with true speech creating a world with an atmosphere so thick you can feel it. Combined stunning animations and atmospheric sound effects will ensure that Fable will take you on the journey of a lifetime!
But beware... in the world of Fable not everything is as it seems.Show more

It is one of the first games I played, when I got my first PC in 1996. I still have the beautiful original Box, that is shaped and opens like a book.
I don't remember much of the story, only that is was a beautiful landscape and some funny situations with puzzles to solve to progress.
This game should be available for more and new players, because it's overshadowed by some other game-series that has just the same name, but nothing to do with this original 'Fable'.
I have fond memories of playing this game with my dad growing up. I enjoyed the story but it's more well known for how awful the ending is. Still, it shouldn't put you off playing it. If you are into classic point and click adventure games, this is not one to be missed. It's also quite challenging and easy to die if you get the puzzles wrong. It needs more exposure. It's not helped that it's named after a series with the same title that is much more popular.

Castlevania: Circle of the MoonCastlevania: Circle of the Moon is the first of the series to be based on the action/RPG structure of Castlevania:Symphony of the Night rather than the level-based action style of all previous Castlevania games. Dracula's castle is a single continuous building, and as Nathan discovers artifacts within it he gains new abilities that allow him to explore more of it. While Nathan can only use his Killer Whip as a weapon, he can find and equip different kinds of armor and accessories that change his stats. Unique to this entry in the series is the Dual Set-up System, where a combination of two cards will give Nathan unique magical abilities. For example, equipping a fire type card with a whip card will give the Killer Whip a fire attribute, while equipping it with a summon card will let Nathan summon a fire demon to attack onscreen enemies.Action Horror
