Spellbound

David Jones' brilliant arcade adventure system of "Windimation", comes to the Atari. It uses windows and menus to give commands, so you're never stuck while you look for the right word only to find you can't do what you wanted.

You control Magic Knight, who has to rescue the victims of Gimbal the Wizard's magical ineptitude from the Castle of Karn.

The only disappointment with this conversion is the colour scheme, which seems more suited to a modern battlefield than the mystical past, even if it was known as the Dark Ages!
