Synopsis

Plot

You play the role of Godfrey de Goodheart, a bold, but impoverished knight. King Fredrick III has sent you to rescue his only daughter, the beautiful Princess Fatima, from the dungeons of Baron von Evil's castle. You have also been asked to capture the Baron's treasures, which he amassed by cruelly exploiting his serfs. If you can rescue the princess and return the Baron's ill-gotten treasures, the king has promised you Princess Fatima's hand in marriage.

Notes

This adventure was published in Micro magazine, issue 54, November 1982, pp. 41-46. The original listing is for the Commodore PET with modifications for the Apple II. An unofficial port (i.e. rip-off) was commercially published by Keypunch Software for the Commodore 64.

It is an old-fashioned treasure hunt based on the same engine that Scott Adams described in Creative Computing, August 1979; SoftSide, July 1980; and Byte, December 1980.
