The Game

The third game in the series of adventures featuring Magic Knight, who has found himself transported to the 25th Century and on board the starship USS Pisces. The game utilises an enhanced Windimation system, first used in Spellbound. Could this be the end for Magic Knight?

Joystick and keyboard.

Introduction

After releasing Gimbal the Wizard from a self-inflicted White Out Spell in Spellbound, Magic Knight has been catapulted through time to the future. This is his story, so here it is in his own words:

"I landed heavily on the Transporter pad of the USS Pisces and while I was bending out some of the dents in my armour, I was approached by a strange metal creature. It spoke 'Hi, Magic Knight. I am KLINK. I have been expecting you. Take this.' He then gave me a cubic object which I later learned was a Datacube. As I held it, I became aware of a strange power inside me. Klink spoke again, 'The datacube will give you the relevant data for 25th Century life and reduce your Culture Shock to nil. It will fade away as you absorb its knowledge'.

As the Datacube transferred its data to my brain cells I started to formulate my survival plan. I will have to locate the Tyme Guardians, if they still exist, and obtain a Tyme Machine from them. I must be careful not to run into Five Eyed Jack the King of the Space Pirates or the Paradox Police, who will probably be waiting 30 days ahead of me. First priority has to be to make contact with the Starship's Transputer since it programmed Klink to give me the Datacube.

Game Features

The game uses an enhanced version of Windimation which players of Spellbound will be familiar with. This system allows the player to access windows in which the command choices are given.

Hints

Derby IV, the Transputer, can help you to start with. The advert in Spellbound may actually prove to be useful. A clown will help to avoid dying of exhaustion. Sarab will tell you how to move the starship once you are wearing a valid ID card.
