Hillsfar (1989) was an action RPG by Westwood Associates for various PC platforms like MS-DOS and the Commodore Amiga. In this solo, AD&D RPG, players found themselves in the city of Hillsfar where they could take on local quests or engage in arena combat for fame and fortune! (a smol thread)

Hillsfar is a fascinating curiosity - it's not really a stand-alone game, it's supposed to be mini-adventures for your characters to get XP between the 1st & 2nd Gold Box RPGs.
Like if you had "Mass Effect: The Normandy Diaries", where Shepard does some mini-games to start Mass Effect 2 stronger.

A 1989 ad for Hillsfar, an RPG for PCs by Westwood Associates
Hillsfar had real-time, action oriented mini-games mixed in with RPG-flavored mechanics based on TSR's AD&D rules and was positioned like a series of side adventures. The box also featured art by longtime fantasy artist, Clyde Caldwell.

Lockpicking in Oblivion can be harder than newer BGS RPGs, but DID YOU KNOW it was inspired by the lockpicking minigame in the AD&D game Hillsfar from 1989? True Story!

This unusual entry in SSI's catalog of AD&D titles let players import characters from adventures like Pool of Radiance and Curse of the Azure Bonds to take part in random quests and mini-games like facing down Lefty in the arena!

A series of character building minigames awaited in this off-campaign entry in SSI's AD&D adaptations. Players could even transfer characters from Pool of Radiance or Curse of the Azure Bonds (and then back to Curse) to train them up!

Speaking of action RPGs, another PC game that got a pretty superfluous NES port was Hillsfar. Originally released in 1989 by Westwood, it was built as a different kind of Dungeons and Dragons experience by mostly being focused around minigames.

You could import Gold Box game characters from Pool of Radiance or Azure Bonds but it was technically not a gold box itself--slightly different engine I believe.

Guten Morgen liebes Bluesky 🤗☕. Ich hatte ganz vergessen das "Hillsfar" so viele Action Elemente hat. Ich bin auch total überrascht wie viele #DnD Spiele es für das #Nintendo NES gibt. #Retro #Retrogames
