Mind you Mindscape brought out a Knightmare game in 1992 for the Amiga that was GREAT! If you've got an emulator - Send me a message and ill try and hook u up with the roms. i know a few sites which still have the full version for download.

I recently dug out my old A500+ from the attic, and one of the games i have is Knightmare by mindscape, i havent set it up yet caus my girlfriend already moans about all the consoles and the speccy 128k i have in the room.

But i do intend to play it when she goes down to her grans for holiday.

I didn't realise people still owned Amigas. I used to have two or three and was very sad when we got rid of them. I used to love a lot of the games. Do you need to connect an Amiga to the PC to get an emulator to work?

I can't remember owning a Knightmare game on it.

I was also wondering does anyone still have a spectrum, Commodore Plus 4 or 64, Amstrad or an old Nintendo or Sega Mega drive?

I used to have have a Commodore (Plus 4 I think). I can't remember if that was before Knightmare was ever shown then.

Anyone remeber KM the game on the Amstrad?

That was hard, I only got into room 3 with the old man

Flangella

Room 3?! I never even made it that far. And I still have the game, along with my CPC464...and I still can't get any further!

TuragaNuju

Yeesh.

If I remeber correctly, you have to pick up something, then 'open door' go through next area, then 'give item to man'

I cant get any firther, even in this age of enlightenment.

Aaaaaaaaah, the good old days...I'm sure mine has the space for a cranking handle somewhere...

I like all those old computers, though my favourite is still the BBC Micro - ours at home is as old as I am and it still works.

The Amstrad Is A Velly Old Computorb, colour diplay but uses floppys... now I think about it, its the PC Console!

Flangella

...colour diplay...

COLOUR?!?!? When did that happen? Mine has a green screen and a built-in tape deck!

If I remember correctly, I read somewhere that you give the old man in the first room some food. He will give you a shovel in return, and you should use the shovel in that room to dig into the floor and continue onwards from there.

tomyboy

What food? I can't find any food? Is it that thing on the floor? And if so, how do you pick it up?

TuragaNuju

if you press a certain button it cycles thoguh all the option of that letter... I think it was pressing the same button twice actually.....

tomyboy

Oh, thanks! I didn't know that you could do more than one command with one button. I'll have another try!!

Do I remember somebody making a map of the entire dungeon? $:-\$

COLOUR?!?!? When did that happen? Mine has a green screen and a built-in tape deck!

The CPC had three colour modes:

Mode 0: 160x200 pixels with 16 colours

Mode 1: 320x200 pixels with 4 colours

Mode 2: 640x200 pixels with 2 colours

All the games I've seen have used either Modes 0 or 1/ The four-colour Mode 1 would usually give a good idea of what weas going on with a green screen, whereas Mode 0 was a disaster whichever way you looked at it - double-block graphics always look horrible, and there was no way of mixing the two, unlike on the C64.

I'm sure I saw someone describe Mode 0 graphics as "looking at a macaw through a cracked window". Never was there a more appropriate description.

In case you're all wondering, I was (and still am) a Spectrum owner.

I am liking that description, it is rather accurate...

I still remember my Dad's CPC6128 with the hideous blue screen and yellow text. Of course, we all thought it was the height of sophistication...
