Hillsfar (game)

Hillsfar was a video game set in the Forgotten Realms developed by Westwood Studios in 1989 and published by Strategic Simulations, Inc..
==Gameplay==
The player chooses a character and starts in Hillsfar. It was one of the first RPGs that tried to combine simple hack-and-slay style with puzzles. The story was simple, with the player-character just walking around the town and its surrounding area, solving some puzzles and fighting action sequences, while trying to find treasures and weapons. Unlike most role-playing games, there aren't any randomly generated monsters to battle, combat only occurs in the arena.
=== Importing and exporting characters ===
The player can import any one character from the party in Pool of Radiance or Curse of the Azure Bonds.
The character from Hillsfar can be exported to Curse of the Azure Bonds. If this is done, extra content will be unlocked in the latter game.
===Mini-Games===
In the game, there are various mini-games that are required to complete the quests or missions.
* Competing at the archery range.
* Exploring buildings or mazes.
* Fighting in the arena.
* Lock picking doors and chests.
* Riding a horse outside Hillsfar while avoiding obstacles.
