Synopsis

Explore a sparsely populated Kingdom to gather equipment and rescue the King's daughter from a fire-breathing Dragon, before she is sacrificed at sundown!

This quality effort was Charles Forsythe's first published game, written in machine language with fewer spelling errors than the norm for the era. The plot is nothing innovative, but it's a pleasant little adventure.

(Note: Charles Forsythe's authorship was confirmed via email by gamingafter40.)

A basic version of the game was published in the book Castles and Kingdoms Adventures for the c64 in 1984.
