Most-played Amber games
Amberstar
DOSRole-Playing
Amberstar is a fantasy role-playing game developed and published by Thalion Software for DOS. The player leads a party of adventurers through the world of Lyramion while seeking the stolen Amberstar and confronting the forces gathered around the tyrant Targor. Exploration alternates between a broad overhead world, towns, wilderness, and first-person dungeon areas. Characters gain experience, improve their abilities, and acquire equipment through combat and investigation. The game was noted for its ambitious scope, party-based systems, and large world, although its interface and demanding progression could feel opaque. It became the opening chapter of Thalion's Amber Trilogy.

How rankings are calculated
The list is generated from active EmuGamers catalog entries. Votes and play activity determine order; browser compatibility is reported separately and does not turn an untested game into a higher-ranked recommendation.
| Order | Signal | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
