Amiga

Ishar: Legend of the Fortress

Trivia

There are two releases of Ishar on Amiga. The original in 16 colors and the AGA (amiga chipset) in 256 colors. The second is the better release of ishar because they have fixed bugs so now, you can run quickly in all directions and not only screen by screen.

Ishar was probably the game with the most annoying savegame system ever: if you wanted to save, you needed to pay some gold for it (I believe it was 100 GP). And believe me - it was nearly impossible to get that much in the beginning of the game, so you could either leave your machine switched on for days, play until you got enough or - well, just quit :)
