Title: Knights Remake
Post by: Stephen_T on January 20, 2012, 09:16:10 AM

Does anyone here remember an Amiga game called "Knights"?

I'm asking because I've made a remake of this game for Windows and Linux. It's available from: http://www.knightsgame.org.uk/

Here's a screenshot:

(Note that although the screenshot uses Scale2x graphics scaling, it is possible to turn this off for those who like the pixelated look)

For those who don't remember it, this was a 2-player game where the objective was to be the first to solve a particular quest. Players had to run around randomly generated dungeons, fight zombies and vampire bats, avoid traps, and so on. My version adds a couple of new features compared to the original, including online play, multiplayer (i.e. more than two players), and some new quest types.

I am currently trying to recruit players :) and we have a regular weekly game set up every Sunday at 19:00 GMT. If you would like to join please sign up here: http://www.knightsgame.org.uk/server_list.php

Thank you :)

Wow, great!  I used to play Knights with my brother, it was great fun.  I remember being in tears from laughing at having just died from some boobytrapped chest or zombie bats.  We made a cardboard box into a screen divider to keep each other's screens hidden.  Can't wait to try your remake!
