Notes: Mark Sabbatini. Retro Gaming Times Monthly
This "collect and dodge" title scores well among the Commodore-era crowd. even if the plot sounds like something from the mathematical novel "Flatland" (great read. even non-math types). You control a knight. whose goal is to join the famous Polygon Table. hopefully accomplished by rescuing the king's daughter from the Castle of Spriteland. You roam the castle collecting treasures and bartering with traders. avoiding energy sapping ghouls along the way. Just one thing: the plot states "you quickly decide to collect as much treasure and cash as possible and escape from the castle." What about the king's daughter and that Polygon Table? Major plot hole. Anyhow. it was a successful game on many platforms and apparently lost little in the conversion process. with the Commodore Plus/4 Handbook giving it a rating of 83 percent. An excerpt its review: "The screens are so cleverly linked that getting round them is far from easy and does call for some well-timed jumps...negotiating the adjoining screens is no easy task and the game could prove a little long-winded and boring to the ardent shoot-em-up fan."
