A classic game from 1984, Knight Lore was one of my favourite games on the Amstrad CPC. Heres me playing it, I didnt do very well, I can normally do a lot better. It suffers from slowdown when a lot is going on, but for a 1984 game you really cant complain. Good stuff!
In my mind the slowdown is a testament to the programmer's abilities. They were pushing the hardware to do things that had never been imagined by it's designers. That tiny little CPU was made to work like crazy - you can almost feel every processor cycle happening! Programmers these days certainly have it easier with resources.

Games like "Batman" or "Head and Heels" were based on this one or at least shared a very similar scheme, appearance etc.

This seems to get slower than the other versions, or what do you say?

One of the very best games on the CPC. The "3D" (isometric) view with animations is very impressing for the date it's been released. It may feel an empty game but it was really exciting and cool to play. I think it's the only game I ever completed to the end!
Alien 8 was also in the same trend.

This is made funnier by the fact it's actually managing to lag.

this game needed more enemies in it. It just feels empty.
