Chronicles of Galia: The First Mission is a turn-based RPG created in QBasic. The plot involves retrieving a stolen artifact that is critical to a kingdom’s peace and prosperity. Your character is a knight who no longer wants to fight due to a past trauma, but is forced into action. The game is presented quite well, with decently drawn tile-based graphics and an actual storyline which draws you in. There is saving at save points (look for purple crystals) and turn-based random battles in the outer areas. Gold is of course collected and used to buy items and upgrades. Overall it seems to be a well-designed RPG especially given that it was made entirely in QBasic!
