Nice little game, although it seemed like there were several objects which were not required for completion. Interestingly, the combat scenarios use random numbers - so on one try you might be successful on killing the goblin, but on another you might lose and it's game over.
Very short but enjoyable while it lasted (C64 version). I probably wouldn't have played if it wasn't for the rating and/or the comment so keep adding ratings / comments for games :)
