Wow! What a game! Now 1 know why they decided to protect it so well. Yes, this is the game with the dongle, a black plastic box which plugs into the joystick port and which must be present every time you load the game. If not you can't get it fully loaded and have to start again and it is a particularly long loading game.

The game is great however and will provide you with many happy hours of relatively non-violent fun.

You have a winged steed to help you topple the enemy off his animal and turn him into an egg.

The game can be played by two players, although it is easy to find that you have been killed by the other player.

The graphics are the very best I have seen and for the Dragon the choice of screen colours is a worthwhile feature. The sound is also remarkable due to its restrained yet very fitting nature. A real winner which I would like to see on other machines too.
