Matt Chat 3: Defender of the Crown

This week, I take a look at Cinemaware's Defender of the Crown, one of the earliest and best games for the Commodore Amiga 1000. As their name suggests, Cinemaware was focused on providing more theatrical or movie-like games, which Defender of the Crown clearly shows. As usual, if you like what you see here, consider buying one of our books or visiting us at Armchair Arcade.

Wow, the graphics are actually cool. I like how you see the shadows during the sword fight in the castle.

I enjoyed Lords of the Rising Sun more myself. It was my fav on my old Amiga 500.

Excellent video/review. My first Amiga was an A1000 and Defender of the Crown was my first game. This brought back really good memories of storming castles and jousting.
