This was a quick entry, as we knew nothing about Legend of Fairghad apart from the fact that it was meant to be an adventure game. There seemed to be no other version in existence and information was almost non-existent (A google search produced our own wanted list :) ).
Thanks to Anonymous Contributor, reference to the game was found in issue 46 of Zzap 64 in February 1989, where the game was due for release from Rainbow Arts via Reline. Nothing else was mentioned about the title though.
However, in 1990 – Reline released a game called Legend of Faerghail on Amiga, ST and DOS. It must be the same game, and just a misspelling in the magazine due to a transcription error or similar.
Considering the Zzap article features Amiga shots only as well – it seems that the game could well have only been intended for 16-bit platforms, and no 8-bit version ever existed. We hope to be proven wrong, but this could well soon be a case closed!

This may have been a sequel to “Legend of Blacksilver.”
Legacy of the ancients (planet Tarmalon; look at code wheel for planet names)
Legend of Blacksilver (look at ‘Ancients’ code wheel for planet Bantross)
Thanks Randall, i’ve updated the piece with that suggestion. Do the code wheels refer to “Fairghad”?
