Goblins

Goblins is a video game in the adventure genre and published by Highlands Computer Services originally released in 1981. It is currently playable on Apple II.

In the early days of home computing, the Apple II was king. And in the realm of Apple II gaming, one title stood out among the rest: Goblins. Released in 1981 by developer Redwolf Design, this game sparked a craze among Apple II users with its innovative gameplay and unique fantasy setting.

The premise of Goblins is simple yet engaging. Players take on the role of a brave knight tasked with rescuing a princess from the clutches of a evil goblin king. To do so, they must navigate through a series of increasingly difficult levels filled with obstacles, puzzles, and of course, goblins.

One of the most striking aspects of Goblins is its distinct art style. The graphics, while limited by the technological capabilities of the time, still manage to convey a charming and whimsical atmosphere. The goblins themselves are especially notable, with their exaggerated features and comical animations.

But don't be fooled by the lighthearted visuals - Goblins is by no means an easy game. With its clever level design and challenging puzzles, players must use their wits and quick reflexes to successfully complete each stage. And with over 60 levels to conquer, Goblins offers a substantial amount of gameplay for its time.

One of the key features that set Goblins apart from other games of its time was its use of a password system. This allowed players to save their progress and return to the game at a later time, a feature that was still a novelty in the early '80s. This added convenience and replay value, making Goblins a popular choice among Apple II users.

As the popularity of Goblins grew, so did its impact on the gaming industry. The game's success paved the way for other fantasy-themed titles and solidified the Apple II as a legitimate gaming platform. Its influence can still be seen in modern games, with many citing Goblins as a top inspiration.
