In the few years after Germany's RPG industry really got started in 1988, we saw games inspired by Ultima ( Nippon, Die Dunkle Dimension), The Bard's Tale ( Legend of Faerghail, Antares, Spirit of Adventure), Alternate Reality ( Fate: Gates of Dawn), Dungeon Master ( Dungeons of Avalon), and Demon's Winter ( Sandor).
Where Britain and France mostly created their own styles of RPGs, and largely failed at it, German developers found more success analyzing and modifying the mechanics of the most popular U.S.
