Apart from the silly pun in the title, which is so bad we refuse to use it in our headline, this isn't a bad little game.

Sodov - indeed! - the Sorceror is defending his castle and his apprentices from some nasty attacking dragons. The dragons have one aim in life - to steal away with the sorceror's apprentices. They do this by attacking his castle, opening the portcullis and rushing in.

The Sorceror can stop them by zapping them with a spell from his battlements which has the added fortunate effect of creating a whole bunch of gold coins. The spell transforms a dead dragon into gold. A neat trick if you can do it.

It's inevitable that the dragons will get into the castle. There's just too many of them. But you, the sorceror, can dash out to save your apprentice and collect a few gold coins. Unless you get roasted by a dragon, that is!

This is a two screen game. One inside the castle and an interesting 3D screen outside the castle. Points are scored by collecting gold.

This game was originally released by an American company called Tymac for the C64 way back in 1984. This conversion looks pretty and is playable if not long on lasting appeal.
