A strange little side quest
The rules may be simple on screen, but the backstory around Sinjid Shadow of the Warrior is anything but tiny. By 1987, fantasy role-playing had become a major computer-game direction, with Zelda, licensed Dungeons & Dragons games and other story-led adventures expanding the form.

Grombi files that under: small game, surprisingly large backstory.
