Ambermoon is a lost gem. Game is ambitious and well polished but unfortunately came out just as the developer (Thalion) was collapsing, leaving us with only the German language Amiga version officially released. Thankfully people have managed to preserve a beta English release (that mostly works... except for a critical bug in a side location and some text issues, again optional things I think). The game box is an amazing piece of art, there's the obligatory world map, a runic table, a short story introduction, the whole business.
The game came out on whopping 9 disks but was somehow still playable without a hard drive (loads and loads of swapping obviously). The only real weak part of the game is its soundtrack which... well, it was definitely an artistic choice and a half.
Anyway, Ambermoon Advanced is a godsend of a project and absolutely the best way to play the game.
