Synopsis

Plot

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!

Notes

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 C64 BASIC version was published as a type-in game in the book Castles & Kingdoms.
