Moonstone: A Hard Days Knight

Nice game but I have issues setting the dosbox config to have proper aspect ratio in fullscreen mode. If I turn fullscreen off then I have prper ratio but cannot use the joystick because somehow it controls the mouse cursor too.

Probably one of the oldest examples of hack and slash, an action-RPG full of humor and, above all, a lot of fun to play. Decades after I still launched it to play with friends. Explore a map, similar to a board game, littered with colorful enemies (ratmen... Damn...) that you must eviscerate with your sword to steal their loot and perhaps get your hands on one of the four keys that, once collected, open the way to the final boss. 3 other knights are in the race and are fighting you to steal the hard-won keys. The game allows you to play alone (the other knights becoming NPCs) or up to 4 players (a rarity at the time!) in turn-based mode, but also, and this is where it gets interesting, simultaneously if you decide to face one of the other players. Another innovative idea (for a game from 1991 of course) : enemies become more numerous and resilient depending on your skill level and... depending on the moon phases! As much as gore usually bores me, here it's a joy! The RPG aspect allows the game to last, and even if the game is short (it can be completed in an hour), you only want one thing at the end: kill more trolls.

the audio is horrible; the amiga versuin was so good, tgis is so bad

I love this game, what a trip down memory lane. It came out when I was 9, and fell in love first time I tried it. Knights, dragons and gore, what's not to like. Thank you GOG for bringing the gem! Instant buy!

Now where is the remake to one of the best games ever made? Play Multiplayer for maximum fun.
