@ViridianGames I still have my copy. first video game i ever played on my XT. AT. This is a game that deserves a truly worthy modern incarnation.

I've actually been trying to think of the name of this game for a few months. Unfortunately I was pretty young when we had it, so I wasn't sure where to start searching. Oddly enough I found it by searching for the old copy protection method. Guess that old cardboard wheel was pretty distinctive. Anyway, thanks for posting!

@sisuhockey How the heck can you play the amiga version? I've downloaded it and everything but it freezes when trying to load. I'm using the winuae emulator.

@glyph29 Agreed. And I'm going to be 38 this March. Awesome game. I wish they'd make a sequel.

@blorgensteen Agreed. I have often wondered what would be the modern equivalent of this game today.

I used to love playing this game as a kid. Great video and narration by the way. I am looking forward to watching your other vids to see where you got with this game as I don't remember ever beating it or accomplishing anything noteworthy other than meeting the minstrels and finding a red herring. Lol.

I prefer the Genesis/Megadrive version. That's the one I remember from my childhood. I think it's still superior to a lot of later, similar games.

How can I get this to work on my Mac? I loved this game!
