Released in 1989 for DOS, The Magic Candle is a classic RPG with more depth than a wizard’s library. You must keep a sacred candle burning to prevent evil from escaping — no pressure. Managing your party, exploring towns, and even taking jobs (yes, heroes have side hustles) makes it a refreshingly grounded fantasy adventure. It’s a mix of epic questing and meticulous resource management, where every decision feels meaningful. Think Ultima meets time management, with a dash of mystical doom.
