computer version

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.

whats an amstrad?

whats an amstrad?

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...

I just got myself killed by the guards >.<

FrightKnight

Amstrads...Spectrums...what primitive technology! We all know the Amiga was and is the best computer ever!

Especially when you edit Formula 1 Grand Prix and sensible Soccer team names to that of Knightmare characters...

"Devastating pass by Lord fear there!"

"Sylvester Hands is all alone in last position, possibly as a result of his odour even above the engine fumes..."

"Great goal Pickle!"

"Come on Oakley, get moving!"

"Hordriss, pass the ball to Olaf! You are so selfish sometimes!"

As for the Amiga Knightmare game, I got confused, and then bored, and then mystified as to how all my team could die if they ran into a wall several times.
