Buckle on your swash and leap into the saddle with Black Knight, the most dashing computer game hero to grace the screen of a Commodore.

Black Knight comes from the Austalian company, Simulated Graphics, and features the best animated graphics yet for the C64.

You play the part of Black Knight, on a quest for hold and glory. There are several stages to his quest. First, he has to mount up and gallop across the countryside - avoiding chasms and potholes as he goes. There are lightning bolts and fireballs to dodge, too.

Then he has to leave his four-legged friend to jump over crumbling chasms, fight a giant serpent, armed only with his trusty blade, and battle with a nasty dwarf before getting the gold.

Black Knight is extremely playable - but difficult. You certainly won't master it in five minutes, but if you stick with it, you'll find your time was well spent.

Programmer Kyle Hodgetts has set a new standard for C64 animation with this original game. It looks and sounds simple - but, believe me, it's a real challenge to beat! Watch out for the Black Knight when he rides into your computer store.
