When Heiko Klinge really wants to do something, he really celebrates it. When he read The Lord of the Rings for the first time, of course, he couldn’t do it in ugly lightbulbs – no, a candle was needed! He doesn’t just dump new board games across the dining table, but arranges them in an appetizing way.
And ambermoon? Not only got Heiko to buy an Amiga 500 in 1993, but also – to make things go smoothly – a wickedly expensive hard drive. Because Ambermoon came on nine disks plus memory disk. Constantly changing them would have been distracting when playing, and Heiko wanted to sink into this world!
Maybe it was also because no other role-playing game has hit his taste as perfectly as Ambermoon since then. It had everything he liked and still likes to this day – exactly what he tells in episode 9 of »Games That Made Me«.
In our »Games That Made Me« format, editors talk about the games that have shaped their lives. “Games That Made Me” will be moderated and presented by Manuel Fritsch from the Europe gaming podcast dinosaur Insert Moinwhich you also on Patreon can support.
