This post is just for telling you how much I love you and this game!
Now if you bring Grim Fandango (and other Lucas Arts Adventures) and Magic The Gathering I can die happy :)

Its fab, i bought the game today:D

But when i started the Amiga version i thought ? aren't those graphics differnt?
And then i rememberd: there was a defender of the crown 2 : (which i had on cd32 :D)

Defender of the Crown 2 for the CDTV and Amiga CD32
and that one had smoother graphics which were less pixel

so i googled and found this:

" King Richard has been imprisoned on his way back from the crusades. In order to free him 20,000 pounds worth of ransom money must be gathered. Of course the nobles of the land aren't willing to give up their wealth, so this money must be obtained through tournaments, raids and outright battle against individual provinces. All of the nobles have castles, so at times siege equipment must be used. "

Defender of the Crown II is the sequel to the smash hit Defender of the Crown. It improves over the game by upgrading the arcade sequences. Here, unlike the original game; sword fighting is about method and is not just wild clicking of the mouse button. The siege sequence is also enhanced with different types of ammo (such as Greek fire) to toss into the castle. The jousting is now easier to control and the lance no longer bounces around wildly.

So if that one could somehow be on GOG aswell, with those graphics as shown on the cd32 that would be a very nice addition.

There's loads of clips of the game on youtube...so just seek and see what i mean.

Hello there!

We are listening and certainly Defender of the Crown II might very well appear on GOG sometime in the future...stay tuned!

Thanks for bringing Amiga (and Cinemaware) to us, GOG! I love, love, love what you're trying to do here.

I'd love to see Three Stooges, Rocket Ranger, and a few other games on there as well, Defender of the Crown II as well.

I have some of them on the C64 still.

wow, i know these , I had these and played these :D
can't remember if there were cd32 versions(far better graphics) but if there is/was a version, that version would be best and most pleasing for the eyes aswell :D
Yes, all the money in the younger days went mostly to games...

Rocket Ranger: "This ship won't fly its self , sonny ..." (the dad of the dame said this , depending on wahta course of action you had taken before .

Great games ...

I am very glad you are, cause even on the old c64 those games were the better games around, even the graphics standard was better then most games.
I believe Jim D Sachs made some of the graphics.
