Probably the weakest of the re-releases of early Martech software (this one dates from 1984), this is an 'arcade adventure' of uneven quality.

Like many others, it involves searching a castle, picking up and using objects and solving puzzles until you can rescue Maid Marion (sic). About the quality of Wizzy's Mansion or Labyrinth - you decide if that suggests spending £1.99!

Summary

We've been here many times before... Searching a castle, picking up and using objects and solving puzzles until you can rescue Maid Marion. Yawn.
