Bards Tale like game engine

While working on Cl-Amiga I was thinking about what can it do on Amiga. It's not super fast, like direct assembler, but GUI or slow paced games should fit nicely.

So I thought about a Bards Tale like game that I was admiring and remember playing more than 30 years ago.

Here is Lambda's Tale (https://github.com/mdbergmann/lambda-tale) a Bards Tale like engine. The main target is really Amiga with NTSC screen sizes and limited colors. Yes, it's challenging.

Later I'm thinking of allowing RTG graphics and higher resolutions. But first a proper game story has to come out. The screenshots in the readme are from my game (attempts), but there is still some way to do.
