About the Game

Originally released in 1983 in arcades, and the following year on home computers, this classic maze shooter saw players take on the role of Arthur as he ascends to the top of Castle Cavelon to save Guinivere from an evil wizard! Now, relive those days in this remastered emulated version.

Gameplay

Dodge deadly knights as you collect the pieces of a door that will lead to the next level. Shoot with your bow and arrow. If you find yourself in a tight spot, use the magic of the wonderous sword Excalibur to give yourself temporary immunity, but be careful - this power has limited uses.


This enhanced version introduces a number of modern features to this retro classic, including:

  • Saving/loading the game at any point
  • Support for most modern game controllers
  • Full control remapping
  • Image scaling and smoothing options
