This game is one of the reasons I started giving up on things.
No but really, I could never finish this game because it was too hard for me and because you're so limited in all old games, if you die- eventually you have to start all over again. Good and bad at the same time.
great music shit game i never learned what i was ment to do and i had it since 91 still lying upstirs in an old box sumwhere might go find it and kick the shit out of it for this reminding me how much a piece of fuck-shit it really was
Well, I can proudly say that I actually did complete this motherfucker... ONCE. The world and the mood are a bit depressing, yes, but the graphics were ace at the time.
The music wasn't bad, but you've said it, it's got some sort of depressive sound to it. That medieval-like solo at the end was awesome and it always made me laugh though.
Oh, and as far as I can remember, there are over 200-220 lifestones to collect. Yay. No freaggin gameboy princess is worth that much torture and pain.
@jamesstafforduk I didn't really hate the game tbh until I played it again in this review. I can probably beat it, but wouldn't feel any enjoyment out of it. XD
I bought this game back when I was like 14...I had fond memories of playing the arcade verson of Dragon's Lair back in the mid 80's....well, ok, not really "playing" so well, more like dying and having to put in more and more money to keep the game going...but I paid as I was FACINATED by the animation and the gameplay...I'd never seen anything like it before!
So when I got this game...well....let's just say I was disappointed.
But with time I did grow to appreciate it. I love the music

@Galdiii atleast its a classic! and everyone knows, that classics are always better that the ones now. i didnt know they had a sword part. to get to the sword part(at the beginning of the game do you go left or right? right leads to castle, and left leads to some random crap. i wish there was an invincibility cheat ahaha >:D
I've managed to finally beat this doomed game. I won't spoil anything... But the end really blows :P (Makes you feel as if the game hated you)
Anyway, to get to the huge knight (and his huge sword) you have to go all the way right. Once you reach the border (If I remember well it's the prison, or castle as you call it), then you go up one window, then all the way back left, then up one window again and all the way right again.
@MrEtzio You get 1 screen of some lame text. If I remember right it says something like "Congratulations, you've collected enough lifestones to awaken the huge knight. Now him and you can go save the princess. Lolololol." There isn't even new music to celebrate it, you get the same background music as always.
After that, you get the same Game-over screen that you get when you lose and after you type in your name it's back to the main menu. They don't even show you the credits!
@MrEtzio Not quite. I mean, yeah and no. On the one hand I was extremely satisfied and happy because I finally beat this damn game (at that point I had it for around 8+ years without ever being able to complete it). On the other hand, yeah, it felt as is the developers had trolled me for way too long.
For some strange reason now I feel compelled to play it again lol....
@Galdiii Roflmao !!!!! All for this ! haha sometimes I do think this game has been created to piss the hell out of all the kids who did play it and were naive enough to think they could finish him !
I reached the sword many times... before understanding you had to take ALL THE GEMS before getting to it ! And then, absolutely nothing happens, and the game is over ^^
@squishington1 The music is so bad. It's just the fact that i's the only song I heard for the whole game besides the title screen and game over screen. The slowness made me think of a grimmy scene, hence why I stated depression.
I swear I got abit more a head of you and I couldn't get past and I didn't know what to dolol. WHAT IS THE OBJECT OF THIS GAME? Collect all the Golds? Thats it? I swear fucking frustrating game and hardest game ever seriously lol. All you do is fucking jump wtf LOL :D Good vidoe though 5/5 :D
Sadly, I tried to beat it when I owned it. I gave up and just thought it was a waste of time since I found out I had to go all the way back just to find all the gold.<<

20 years ago, THIS "game" was the reason, why i busted my first and beloved Gameboy - had to argue for weeks to finally get a new one :)
2011:
For nostalgic reasons, i just played it again on an emulator....still the same - close to going on a rampage - inches away from exploding ;)
The jumping mechanics alone.......... ARRRRRRRRRRR
As mentioned before - pure torture.

I got this game too. It's hard as hell, I got to the sword part, but haven't been able to get all the gems...
I think I'm gonna give it a try again anytime soon. Can't stand not having beaten this game yet.
And btw, the music can get tiresome when you play for a long while... But c'mon, it must be one the most badass medieval solo's you've ever heard.

Yeah. It makes me sad that they don't create good music like this anymore.

*On another note: I also thought, as a child, that you had to find a way to get the sword and armor together.
