Tom Potter of Sausageware Games has managed to successfully evoke feelings and memories of a younger self during those now long forgotten halcyon times with his reinterpretation of Knightmare for the XZ Spectrum. The severely limited colour palette, and “chip tune” rendition of the theme made it all believable. Thankfully, the .TAP files provided made life slightly more bearable than the tedium of loading from cassette onto original hardware.
Wow! The original Knightmare game on the Speccy was a disaster. Most people didn’t even get out of the first room. This is something entirely different!
A mixture of characters, action elements, ingenious and devious puzzles, fab graphics and lovely sound (including a stunning AY rendition of the Knightmare theme tune) – this game really does have it all going on. It’s not easy, and some of the puzzle will take real thought and you’ll have to pay attention to everything that’s said and going on around you. A pen and paper is highly recommended!
Overall, I couldn’t be happier with this version of Knightmare. I think the author has done a fantastic job and every time I play it I get a little further. Highly recommended!
