Subject: Computer Game search

Written By: Zero_lifespan on 02/06/07 at 2:58 pm

I don't know if anyone can help me.
I was reminiscing about the good old days when a memory of a computer game i loved came flooding back.
I want to know if anyone knows what it was called.
It was a cassette game on the ZXspectrum possibly on the commodore 16 but i doubt it.
You played a knight or warrior or prince, some blue guy anyway.
The aim was to rescue a pink princess from a dark wizard ina castle.
The first level was moving through a landscape (across a forest) every so ofter a message would flash up about you being attacked by a wolf or some such menace.
The second level was getting across a bridge with a two headed grey monster, who threw boulders, on it.
Then there was a first person maze built up of white squares with black line crosses on.
Then you were in the castle and away you went to find this princess.

The graphics were similar to that great game Chaos "Battle of the Wizards."
Well there you are.
I would dearly love any info on this game, if it sounds familiar let me know.
Thanks
Zero

Your best chance would be to have somebody from Europe read this.

Neither the ZX or C-16 was a success in the states.

I'm not really that familiar with computer games (apart from I went out with a lad who played endless games of Chucky Egg) but I asked on another forum I belong to.  Someone suggested it might be called Knight Lore but then someone else said it wasn't that.  They also mentioned Zelda as a potential character to search about.

I'm going to refer you to another website for this answer.  I went here asking about an old Boulder Dash game for Atari 130XE and somebody there actually mailed me a copy of the game for free.  I couldn't believe how helpful and generous they were...

Thanks for your help, it wasn't knight lore. I will look into Link and Zelda but i don't think it was those either.
I will try the other forum suggested.

Cheers guys
