Death Sword

Death Sword is a video game in the action genre developed by Palace Software, Ltd. and published by Epyx, Inc. originally released in 1988. It is currently playable on DOS, Amiga, Apple II, Atari 8-bit, Atari ST, BBC Micro, Commodore 64, Electron.

The evil wizard Drax is terrorizing the city of jewels and has cast a spell on the beautiful princess Marina, who is forced to obey him. From the northern lands, a hero is sent to help the city and free the princess. He is Gorth, the strongest of the barbarian warriors. With his sword in hand, he has to defeat eight of Drax's best warriors and, finally, the wizard himself. He will fight them in the forest, at the top of the mountain, in the dungeon . . . finally arriving at Drax's palace itself.

This is essentially a one or two player fighting game in which you control a large barbarian and fight against another player or against a computer AI. There are several types of hits, and some hits take away half a point while others take away a whole point. Each player has six of these 'power points'. They also have a special hard to perform 'Death Sword' which decapitates your opponent, killing them in one hit.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
