Amberstar is a fantasy role-playing game developed by Thalion Software that was released in 1992 for Amiga, Atari ST, and MS-DOS. A sequel, Ambermoon, was released in 1993 exclusively for Amiga and only in German.
While a trilogy was planned, Thalion Software closed in 1993 before a third game could be completed. Some of the team later joined Blue Byte Software and made a spiritual successor, Albion.
