Knightmare

Knightmare is a video game in the adventure genre developed by Focus Creative Enterprises Ltd. and published by Activision, Inc. originally released in 1987. It is currently playable on Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC.

Knightmare was a popular children's TV show set in a medieval fantasy world, in which 3 players guided a room through a maze using a virtual reality system. In the first licensed game you have been trapped in the castle of Damonia and must escape somehow.

Viewed in 3D, you move your character through the rooms, while most other actions are triggered by a verb-substantive command system. By pressing the first letter of the first word (open, close, dig, etc. ) and pressing enter once you get it right, you can choose the second word (the options are context-sensitive; for example, 'door' only appears if you're near one).

There are many puzzles to solve along the way. There are two counselors, one good and one bad, but every time you ask for advice only one answers, and you have to figure out for yourself if the clue is kosher.

Your health is indicated by a candle chart, the higher it is, the healthier you are. You start with no weapons or spells, but these can be picked up and used, including a rain cloud to freeze everything, Casper the magic key, and a cast iron anvil to crush all evil.

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