Download Rings of Medusa - DOS game

Rings of Medusa is a 1990 DOS role-playing adventure that combines exploration, trading, combat, and strategy in a large fantasy world. Players travel across a map, gather resources, recruit allies, and search for the mysterious Rings of Medusa while facing enemies along the way. The game offers more freedom than a straightforward dungeon crawler, allowing players to decide where to go and how to approach their objectives. Its mixture of economic elements and traditional fantasy adventure gives it a distinctive character. Rings of Medusa rewards players who take time to explore and understand the world rather than rushing from one battle to another. There is plenty to manage, which means becoming a hero involves considerably more paperwork than fantasy stories normally admit. Even adventurers apparently need to keep an eye on their budget.

Rings of Medusa review

Zero Magazine Issue 7 (1990) - "I was so taken by the first two games I left myself hardly any time to play the third one: Rings of Medusa. It's also less my kind of game, being more to do with trading and strategy. You play the son of a King on an unknown planet, who must find five rings in order to defeat the goddess Medusa. You begin with next- to-nothing and in something like Ultima style, you move your figure across a landscape that looks more like medieval England than up Uranus way. You can enter (or try to) the various cities, as well as probably getting bashed up by a hostile army on the way.
I didn't spend nearly long enough with this game to get the most from it, but that's also because it isn't the kind of game that grabs me by the interface and demands that I uncover its innermost secrets. If you're into strategy games, I definitely recommend you give it a look, as it seems to have been put together with a great of attention to detail."

I would describe it as a very early version of mount and blade , but without real time FPS type battles? Just based on the video you show.
