ZX SPECTRUM LEGEND

[nick25clark]

david gemmell is one of my favourite authours...i have read nearly all of his books...sadly he passed away fairly recently the last books he wrote were the troy series.

I had never heard of him before I started looking around the web for help with this game. He did seem pretty popular as a writer.

i dont know what books you are into but i reckon you should give some of david gemmells books a try..they are are brilliant..a mix of fact, fiction and fantasy.

I do recall at somepoint during the game you would enter a sword fight and need to use the cursor keys to fight. And if you win the fight the loser joins your army for the final battle part on the B-Side of the tape.

Or am I mixing this part of the game up with some other?

[SPINNYFUCK]

Not sure about that. Sounds interesting if that's the case.

Cheers m8. Great stuff, brings te memory's flooding back. This was first game I had bought for ZX Speccy, I used toi love the ol' adventure games. £15.00!!! it cost, imagine what that would be in todays money?

[SPINNYFUCK]

No bother mate! 15 quid was a lot back then. Just buying a £9.99 game broke the bank. I only did that occasionally if I knew I was going to enjoy a game.

Oh shit the film was right, the monkeys are going to take over.

Was a game years ago called "Forrest at worlds end" and after rescuing the princess if you typed in "fuck princess" the response was "princess runs away screaming". Ungrateful spoilt bitch.

Charlton Heston was ahead of his time.

Don't know that game. Maybe you should use the rope to tie her to the bed before she starts screaming. Sounds a bit like Bonnie Langford.

Tried to be clever and got her in a boat halfway across a river and she still managed to run away ???? and she scweemed and acweemed and scweemed.

I used to draw maps for this game lol, i know it was sad. But i really loved the old text adventures, this and the hobbit. This one is strange and you do need the book to make any progress.

Thanks for sharing.

I was a bit of a mapper as well when it came to adventure games. I never had this game but I loved the Hobbit. I couldn't find any help on the web for this game though.

[madmomentsgo]

i played a text game like this called lord of the rings. i always remember all those tapes and the book that came with it.

The Hobbit game got me into reading the book because I didn't have a clue about the game at the time without instructions.
