Description

This game is often considered as the most technical game for the Amstrad CPC, the one that really exploits the machine capabilities. It will only run on CPC 6128 (128Ko RAM required).

The game is amazing, indeed. Graphics, music, animation, everything is on high-level regarding the CPC hardware. And the game is good, but very short.

Multi-sequence :
1st level is "run and gun"-type.
2nd level is "fighting"-type, very close to Barbarian.
3rd level looks like a run and gun but auto-scrolled (you can just accelerate, decelerate) riding a horse.
4th level is still "run and gun" but has a different design and it feels different to play.
5th level is the end boss, "fighting"-type like the second one, but much harder.
