More stuff from the Spanish Dinamic team has arrived in the shape of a space age cavalier on a quest to free a beautiful princess from a bunch of 'orrible aliens.

Armed only with a sword, he plunges into the passages of the enemy fortress and more often than not comes a cropper in the first couple of seconds.

This game looks as if someone hasn't quite finished the fine tuning before it was released. Enemies come at you so impossibly quickly that your three lives are used up in a matter of seconds - however long you persevere trying to get into the game.

And looking at the pictures on the cassette inlay it looks as if the person who was taking them didn't get any further into the game than me. The main screenshot shows the central character getting speared by an enemy - which happens with frustrating regularity.
