[Found: Phantasie III] Anyone help? Fantasy, turn-based rpg...should be easy, right?

Hi amiga board,

am looking for a fantasy rpg game that I played in the period 1988-92

- my most distinct memory was that during combat, your characters would stand alone, facing you, and to hit, they would swing at the air towards you. But they were quite small, so the enemies must have been represented somewhere else on the screen. So yeah, the combat was a little indirect...

- can't remember the name, extensive googling has failed me...

- genre - fantasy, turn-based, rpg, 4? player characters,

- view was top down, moving 1 grid unit at a time like Ultima, i remember being able to go from the surface, to underground (dungeon?), combat view would switch to what I described above

- maybe something to do with dragons?

I have found most of the games of my childhood but this one still haunts me - anyone with any suggestions please let me know!

thanks in advance for any help...

Sounds vaguely like one of the Phantasie games? Perhaps Phantasie I or III?

Amberstar or Dragonflight or one of these?

@xaind - you did it! I don't know how, and the name doesn't make sense but it was definitely Phantasie III. From youtube, it looks like I as a kid I got up to the final dungeon but was never able to get past it.

Thankyou so much for your help with this, you have maybe some idea how satisfying it is to be able to know now what it was (and go and play it very soon)

Ironically, it was in Sydney that I was playing it...

Anyway thanks again, and thanks to codyjarret for suggestions too.
