[VAR] Defender of the Crown

[Staubhold]

 

 

Defender of the Crown is a strategy game, set in England in the Middle Ages. It was Cinemaware's first game, and was originally released for the Commodore Amiga in 1986.

it was ported to DOS, the NES, Atari ST, ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, C64, Macintosh, the Apple IIGS and the CD-i.

Following the death of the king, different factions are fighting for territorial control.

The player assumes the role of a Saxon (Wilfred of Ivanhoe, Cedric of Rotherwood, Geoffrey Longsword or Wolfric the Wild) and tries to fight off the Norman hordes and wrestle for control of England.

The player must fight for control of all territories, and potentially those controlled by other Saxons, if they have become antagonistic. Territories can also be won in the periodic jousting contests. From time to time the player may attempt to rescue a damsel in distress and can appeal for help from the legendary bandit Robin Hood.
