RoA is an excellent classic inspired game. If you love the old school games like the original Ultimas you will love RoA. It delivers on that classic RPG feel while at the same time offering some modern QoL features such as stream lined inventory management and it is unique in pushing the capabilities of classic Texas Instrument computers (TI-99/4a).

RoA runs on the classic99 emulator and is configured by default. No set up is necessary and the binary auto runs the emulator with the game. It also runs on Linux and can be played with other emulators such as MAME (with some tweaking) if that is your preference.

The community around the game is solid for any help needed. :)

100 percent recommended.

I wholeheartedly agree! The best 20 USD I've invested last year. This game is without any doubt one of my favourite RPGs of all times. It has a clever and believable world building, great tactical combat and very intelligently designed quests, some of them reaching from one end of the world to the other. In many aspects it reminds me on Ultima and Dark Disciples II (a relatively unknown freeware RPG and one of the best I've ever played in regard to world building and quest design). RoA gives me such a fantastic feeling of adventure and exploration, it has so many cleverly arranged and concepted dungeons, all the encounters, massive amount of varied enemies, climate zones, secrets,... never did I feel bored for a minute. And I played for easily one hundred hours (that's how big it is). For me RoA is a nearly perfect RPG, I'd rate it 9,5/10.
