Demon Knight (Argus Press)
Demon Knight is described as an adventure game which is difficult, deadly and logical. You aim to root out and destroy the Demon Beelzebub. Beelzebub will not appreciate it if you attack him with weapons or try to kill him in this way, so to help you you must enlist the powers of magic. Before you even get the pleasure of meeting Beelzebub however, you must solve all the puzzles on the route to find him. This could take quite a time.
Demon Knight is a text adventure and one which I find to be rather slow. All commands, with the exception of Help, Quit an Inventory, must be entered as two word commands so that the computer can interpret them correctly. This also means that directional commands must be entered as two word commands such as, GO WEST or GO NORTH. This is extremely time-consuming and there is a pause of quite a few seconds each time the computer responds or replies.
Instructions provided are adequate and the help command often gives some useful hints. Clues are also included in the description of each surrounding so if you look carefully you should be able to evaluate your next move.
Very much a typical adventure game but with a difference in the usual story line. In Demon Knight you have the opportunity to rescue a beautiful maiden in distress, from the evil clutches of the demon Beelzebub, and then marry them to live happily ever after. A wonderful fairytale ending, if you ever get that far.
