Reading one of the threads led me to start this one...anybody remember these games?
I loved these at the same time I found Dizzy.
If I remember right, very frustrating but most enjoyable!!!!
In fact, I don't believe I even completed one????
Stormbringer/Spellbound/Knight Time

knight tyme was the other. (Knight Time)
I had it was was pretty hard, like all my games i couldn't do anything. lol
You could play space invaders while it loaded which was cool feature.
Ah this music takes me back... i've not heard this for 20 years!!!

I wanna play it now!!!
Its always the cracked ones that let the light in
I would love to play em all again and see whether my school of knowlege I have gained as an adult would help me complete them now!!!!
The reason I stumbled across Yolkfolk.com was cos I was searching for Spellbound from the Magic Knight series on the net....what a result, whilst looking for something else, I found multiple Dizzy games to play at my fingertips
In addition to that, I have now completed (and learnt the basics of coding) over half of a computer game that I never would have dreampt about creating before.....I would class that as personal gain:-)
P.s - Adz, I am rubbish at choosing where to start threads eh?????
I prefer the first Magic Knight game to be honest, Finders Keepers. It came out of nowhere on Mastertronic and hardly anybody I knew had even heard of it yet alone played it. I remember playing it for hours on end and mapping it all out and trying to work out the object combinations that would work. If I remember there were apparently 3 endings, but I only managed to discover 1. Still good fun though. A good mix of puzzle game, a couple of mazes, and a platformer.
The later games got the plaudits with the big cartoony graphics, but for me the first was the best.

I remember Finders Keepers....a little trip down memory lane for me. Just checked it out on YouTube and came across another game i used to play, 'Knight lore', how rubbish was that????
Aaaah, also seen 'Barbarian', 'Renegade', 'Target Renegade, 'Bruce Lee' and 'Knightmare', mispent youth eh????. Oh how I loved ?1.99 games...used to save all my pocket money to get the new release hoping for it to be as good as Dizzy and every time i was dissapointed cos lets be fair, the Amstrad was pretty rubbish!!!
Just remembered another aswell, 'Jack the Nipper', I don't even think you could complete that game???
Just had another thought...
Does anybody remember a game where you played a Monk? I remember you had to walk round a forest searching for herbs and if i remember correctly, you could warp via rings of mushrooms?

I used to buy me games from car boot sales... lol
I just look at 'Knight lore' (it wasn't what i thought it was) The game looks like Head over heels.

Meph - Knight Lore came first, and started the isometric craze (even though Ant Attack had used this format years before). I remember seeing a video of it at a ZX Microfair before it was released and everyone looking at it in awe at the size and quality of the graphics. Shame it played like a pig, I never could stand it, it was just far too slow for me, and then you kept changing into the werewolf to slow it down a bit more.
Salehmarley - sounds a bit like Feud, but I don't recall warping via mushrooms in it. There was another game called Druid which I think was similar, could it be that?
Jack the Nipper was completable on the Speccy, and most Amstrad games were basically Speccy ports, so I would be surprised if it was impossible, mind you, as I recall, it was very difficult (but good fun all the same!)

Well done Frog....It was 'Feud'. Another game that I could do absolutely nothing on.
There seems as though there is a bit of a pattern here, I don't think I was very good at computer games in general.
