| Knight Lore | Ultimate Play The Game | 1984 | [6]*** [4]*** [41]*** [48]***My journey's end is near; as the last few ebbs of daylight dance fleeting in the cooling twilight, and then suddenly dart off to chase the red sinking sun. Behind me I feel night's dark icy fingers slither up long looming shadows, hiding behind large mounds and boulders, watching my every move... silently waiting.... For days I have journeyed from the realms of the jungle wulf to 'KNIGHT LORE' castle to seek the old dying wizard and ask for his help to free me from this deathly curse... For countless nights I have slept chained to trees to keep my deathly curse at bay, but now I am here...***Released in December along with `Underworld` as part of Ultimate's Christmas 1984 software lineup, this received a coveted `Crash Smash` by the now defunct Spectrum magazine and wowed the gaming press and public with the since much imitated isometric 3D perspective. Knightlore was actually ready months before its Christmas release date but was kept back as the Stampers decided that the gaming public were just not ready for it! | labelimagesubject |
| Werewolves of London | Mastertronic | 1988 | [b]Run rampage across the rooftops! Get savage in the sewers! Have a hairy fit in Hyde Park! Spread terror in the tube stations![/b] The object of the game is to relieve yourself of the lycanthropic curse by slaughtering all the remaining members of the family that cursed you. Each time you find yourself near to one of the yuppies a cross will flash in your icon row - seek out and destroy! If you are successful the cross is yours to keep; collect all eight and you have rid yourself of the curse. Each time you kill, the police become more determined to put an end to your nocturnal activities. Everybody is a potential snackette and you may find some corpses carry useful objects such as tickets for the underground or keys for the jail or park. The torch helps you see in the sewers and the underground and the manhole cover lifter allows you access to those smelly places. The file might be useful on the jail windows and using bandages can help stem blood loss. Getting thrown into jail is a fact of life if you happen to be a hairy carnivorous beast, and this could curtail your night time activities if your are not careful. But you could be clever and conceal a few handy objects in the cell during the day in order to help you escape later. Prolonging your munching time is the name of the game ... Happy hunting!*** [8]*** [4] | labelimagesubject |

Her throat has been savagely torn out. The old legends of werewolves are talked about once again and a young man slips silently through the rain, frightened and very confused. Very quickly the man has to come to terms with the fact that he is a werewolf and embarks on a journey to find salvation. He encounters many who want to kill him and only great cunning will see him through. There will be brutal and fearful carnage during the journey, for the young man will be forced to revert to the awesome werewolf within him, in order to survive. But, amid the blood and rent flesh there is also a tender love. That of the girl Nardia, for this poor young man. Their relationship can be nurtured to a love which is as awesome in its strength, as the appearance of the maggot-ridden cave behemoth is horrifying. So, venture into my land of horror, where your worst nightmares become reality, but where also you might find a great and powerful love that will transport you, albeit temporarily, to a place of happier dreams.*** [4] | labelimagesubject |
