Talisman

Talisman is a board game by Games Workshop. There have been several attempts to adapt the board game into a video game since its introduction in 1983. The first was a 1985 ZX Spectrum game, titled Talisman or The Talisman. It was developed by SLUG and produced by the board game's publisher, Games Workshop. Another attempt, by Big Rooster Games in 2008 was abandoned and was labeled "a misfire" by Games Workshop. In 2012, Nomad Games released Talisman: Prologue, a single-player game for Microsoft Windows and mobile platforms, and in 2013 Nomad released Talisman: Digital Edition which added multiplayer to the game, with several expansions also released. Talisman Origins was released in 2019 by Nomad Games. 1985 version Talisman was released in 1985 for ZX Spectrum, developed by SLUG and published by Games Workshop. The game is a conversion of the Second Edition of the board game. It is a fantasy hybrid board/role-playing game, in which players moved across a text-based virtual board, fighting creatures, collecting items, and strengthening their characters through experience. The ultimate goal was to defeat the other players, typically by reaching the Crown of Command on the game board.
