"What is Questron?"
Questron is a fantasy role-playing video game series produced by Strategic Simulations, Inc. Released in 1984 for Apple II, Atari and Commodore 64 platforms.
"Why is this project titled Questron if it is not really anything todo with the real Questron?"
I was born in the 80's and enjoyed playing Commodore 64 and Atari as a kid. I used to enjoy Role Playing Games like Questron, Questron II, Ultima and of course, the SSI/TSR Goldbox Series games (Death Knights of Krynn, Pools Of Radiance etc).
This project is put together nearly entirely from pixel graphics originally authored by Strategic Simulations Inc artists.
