Etrian Odyssey (Nintendo DS, 1997)

Etrian Odyssey is an RPG released on the Nintendo DS by Atlus in 2007. At ten years old it is arguably a vintage or retro-game now but even when new it was a real throw-back to the likes of the Bard's Tale, Wizardry and AD&D Gold Box series of RPGs as opposed to being more like modern RPGs. Both movement and combat is turn-based in this game and there is even a separate mapping screen on which you can create and annotate maps of the dungeons you explore.

My Nintendo DS was mostly used to play Mario Kart and I never played this one but given how much I love the old-school turn based RPGs on my Commodore 64 I'm going to have to track Etrian Odyssey down and give it a try.
