Defender Of The Crown (Mirror Image)

Ah yes, we all remember the packaging with the most anatomically incorrect woman since Sam Fox. Couple that with some ground-breaking graphics and a simple, yet challenging, strategy game and you've got a product that's going to sell to the masses.

When Defender Of The Crown was first released it was considered revolutionary - nowadays, however, it has been surpassed by games like Rocket Ranger and It Came From The Desert.

Despite that, it's stll a good romp: raiding castles and competing in jousting tournaments is good enough fun in itself, while the blend of strategy and arcade action is just about right to cater for all tastes.

Although the movie-style sequences are still this game's strongest points, the whole package is definitely worth a look, especially at the new asking price.
