THE KNIGHT’S QUEST (Phipps Associates)
--------------------------------------
Jeez, this certainly brings frustration to a whole new level. What fun is a game
if you're almost through it, only to discover that you shouldn't have dropped
this or that object in the beginning? I've had to restart this a *lot* of times.
Not to mention that the game is too large and the fact that you get half of your
score within the last 20 moves! Anyway, look below to complete it:
