Sir Knight C16
A downloadable game
for Commodore 16/Plus4
Sir Knight is your noble knight who has been asked by King Arthur to rescue the beautiful Princess Ethel imprisoned in Black Skull Castle.
The fortification around the castle comprises of archers and cannons firing menacing fireballs. Other obstacles impeding your progress are pits, portcullis, and a grease-covered moving bridge spanning a large pit. All of these obstacles need to be conquered before a trail of fire ignites a store of TNT under the Princess' dungeon.

Nice but very hard game! Our German-language review can be found in our recorded livestream starting at 00:20:43. Automatic subtitles should be available soon (switch on, if necessary). Subscription to our YouTube or Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂
Danke!
I see it got the better of you - once you master the first level, it gets easier :)
I've given you a follow on Twitch :)
Tremendously addictive game! Recommended
Nice game! Will boot this up on the real hardware sometime too. Any chance for a C64 version? If you have one cooking would like to feature it on our coverdisk for ZZAP! 64 (and launch on itch simultaneously).
Possibly. I'm going back to a different C64 game first - a suped-up C64 version of Hercules Redux I released on C16/Plus4 last year.
I may port this over after that... although my backlog is long :D
Okay. I want to cover this (our news section, screenshots, concept etc.) and a demo or full game on one of our cover disks (and release on itch simultaneously). Keep going and thanks for the games that are providing! jazzcat64@gmail.com
Nice game !
Nice - good to see you mastering some strats already :)
If you wish you can publish my game play video here in your account.
very good
Thanks Marco
It looks and sounds great, but it is way too hard. Please adjust the gameplay difficulty to become more fun to play
Hi - thanks for playing. The original levels match the difficulty of the original, which I agree is quite challenging. But there is a 'strategy' to complete all levels. Most levels the strategy isn't too hard to pull off once you learn it. You can use the infinite lives cheat to practice.
My testers have both completed the game already without cheats.
An insanely difficult game!
Practice makes perfect ;)
