A village/city management simulation where you send out adventuring parties that bring back loot to your little village. 2d top down vintage graphics. Saw it somewhere a few months ago, probably still in early alpha.

Sounds like it could be Settlers Online or Anno Online.  (they are siblings, both being Facebook-ish games via Ubisoft)

It actually has almost 8-bit or 16-bit graphics, so neither of the above. I can't recall if I found it through B12 or RPS. Not on facebook (as far as I'm aware).

Perhaps Adventurer Manager, then?

At the time I don't think it was on steam or had a battle scene style but it's quite possible it's been greenlit and updated. This looks almost the same, thanks!

Friend wants me to hunt down a game of our tender years.

Platform: Apple IIGS
Genre: Roguelike?
Name: "Quest for the Ring(s)" is as close as he can remember.

It was a simple, single character roguelike with an overworld map. That's about all I have to go on.

[Arx]

Almost certainly Ring Quest, but I can't find anything that's still online about it.

Edit: Hm, maybe, maybe not. This look familiar?

[nenjin]

Mmmm, don't think so. He was pretty emphatic it was a roguelike with your standard top-down view, not a text-adventure game. I personally don't recall playing this game at all. Thanks for the look up though!

Xyphus?

Found a couple references to something called "Raiders of the Lost Ring" which seem to be completely different games of the same name:

Neither of these are what you want, so I'm going to guess that your friend is off the mark on the name.  Lots of single character top-down RPGs though. 

"Phantasie" could be one character, or you could take more.  Top down, has a world map.

"Telengard" was more of a roguelike (rogue predecessor, I think actually) but I dont think it had a world map.

Neither of those are as good as Bouchart's submission.

[nenjin]

Yeah, Xyphus is making his brain fire off random memories of something. Going to look for some gameplay videos, or something. Thanks!

edit

Not Xyphus. This game was a single character RPG like Dragon Warrior 1 for the Nintendo. The hunt continues!

Legend of Blacksilver?

[nenjin]

Narp.

He said the starting wizard spell was something like Stone Fist or Iron Fist, if that helps.

[Frumple]

... has he already skimmed over the wikipedia list of Apple IIGS games?

[Bouchart]

Here's a list of Apple II roleplaying games but it might not be complete.

Oh, shoots, GS.  Scratch everything I said previously.  Those were from another era.

Questron?;
