but the graphics looks a bit different. But perhaps it's a different version of the game... or my memory fails me. :wink:

Hehe yes, Sophia is right - you were seeing the image on a much larger scale than it actually is, I think, Saumun ;).

Argh, meant to spoiler that but curse being a noob... also how long will my posts require moderation (it prevents me from editing it!) ?

Hmm no, sadly not...I'm guessing you have to aim the catapult in order to wreck the castle, though? Sounds fun...:twisted:

Can you accidentally hit one of your own soldiers, preferably that one on the horse? That would be even funnier... :twisted:

The screenshot is from the Amiga version. The 16bit versions looked very nice for the time (1986), but sadly IMO the gameplay was somewhat lacking. There was a main conquest part and a few mini-games like jousting, castle raids, and the siege engine. Unfortunately they were all very short and the game was a little on the easy side.

@Jan.... Lol, unfortunately not! I'd have liked a nod to python where you could shoot livestock.

I played

Defender of the Crown
a lot when I was younger. Actually I tried a flash version recently but I kept losing. Either it got harder or I forgot what the required strategy was (I didn't try for long, I must be honest).

How about this one. Bonus points if you can name the craft being piloted.

From all games presented here this one would win the 'evil graphics award (EGA)' easily. Would even beat Pong I bet :D
