Storm Warrior

Apparently, this is a previously unreleased game from the team who programmed C64 Forgotten Worlds. A couple of minutes at the joystick and you can tell why it was never previously released. The plot is the usual rubbish about a prince, armed with sword, who has to go to the palace of an evil witch queen to kill her and save the land.

What it amounts to is a fairly unintelligent horizontally scrolling slash-'em-down set in a boring landscape of forest, then castle corridors. The opponents are pretty unimaginative combatants, and all it takes is a few raindom stabs before they're history.

Mark Cooksey's music is pleasant, but otherwise this game has few merits.

C64

An unspectacular fighting quest which soon becomes boring.
