| Defender of the Crown | Ultra Games;Palcom Software (Beam Software) | 1989 | The in-game story seems to refer to the end of the second crusade and one of the few battles that the crusading forces actually won. Undoubtedly this is backstory and the game is set some time later than 1149 and sooner than 1199 (which is the historical beginning of John of England's reign). Probably the murdered king mentioned is Henry II of England, who actually died of natural causes in 1189; but his health was certainly not improved by the actions of his sons, especial Prince John. Never the less, the in-game date begins counting from October 1149. The game takes much dramatic license. The player is one of the six knights mentioned in the story and all of these knights will be battling for England.

| Defender of the Crown | Cinemaware (Master Designer Software) | 1987 | Cinemaware says "512k", "Not compatible with Mac II", "800k Drive", "Hard disk installable" This entry is tagged "macos3" (System 3.0) for minimum compatibility due to the 800k drive requirement in 1987. I'm pretty sure Apple never intended 800k drives for System versions 1 or 2 and even attempting this would require pointlessly downgrading a Mac to an older system software. (safe to say macos1 and macos2 are not supported, even if possible) Defender of the Crown crashes before loading on Mac OS 8 or later. Cinemaware never provided a patch or workaround. Defender of the Crown can be run using the OS Classic emulator, if properly configured. | Mac OS Classic | labelimageminimize |
