Released in 1988, Legend of the Sword is a graphic adventure that tries to blend epic fantasy storytelling with the puzzle-solving spirit of early point-and-clicks. The result is a game where you juggle an entire party of heroes, each with their own quirks, while navigating a world that’s as confusing as it is charming. The graphics were serviceable for the time, but what really stood out was the ambition: a sprawling quest that demanded attention, note-taking, and the patience of a saint. If you were hoping for a casual stroll through a fantasy kingdom, you were in for a rude awakening—this was hardcore adventuring, late ’80s style.
CVG (1988): "With all these features, plus masses of text, it is not surprising, that Legend comes on two disks. It is a big game, with many elements of role playing built into a problem orientated adventure. The problems may not prove too easy to solve, but the game is easy and enjoyable to play. It should establish Silicon Soft among the best of adventure producers, and maintain Ralnbird's reputation for high quality, high tech adventures. The price is fairly hefty, but you get a lot for your money!"
