The Elder Scrolls: Arena

The Elder Scrolls: Arena was released in 1994 and was the first game of the The Elder Scrolls series and 12th game developed by Bethesda Softworks. It was one of the first role-playing video games and one of the largest games created at the time of its release. Like its sequels, Arena takes place on the continent of Tamriel, complete with wilderness, dungeons, and a spell creation system that allows players to mix various spell effects into a new spell as long as they have the money to pay for it. Although not as popular as the later games, Arena generated a cult following, and it was successful enough to spawn a sequel, Daggerfall.
