Knight Force: invincible final boss?

Postby myloch » Wed Feb 24, 2016 8:26 pm

Hello, I was never able to finish this game, unfortunately a proper floppy image is not available, only a fixed release.

Do someone of you ever finished this shit? I collected all the objects but I cannot kill the final wizard, he seems indestructible :huh:

I wonder if I do something wrong or it's a cr@ck problem/protection trigger.

I tried at least 3 different pc versions of this game, seen some longplay videos from other ports and I think pc version is broken because even after collecting the five amulets and killing all 5 wizards, the game does nothing and the princess doesn't appear. Totally crap game.

This.

One guy with original disk (5"¼ disk pc cga release) assured me he has been able to finish this crap (link).

I tried every pc version out there and imho they are ALL broken. They just didn't work 100% as they are supposed to be. This game's controls are so bad no one in all these years in the abandonw@re or w@rez scene noticed it and cared about making a proper dump.

I'm not sure if I've ever shared the floppy image I made with Imagedisk some years ago (settings used: full analysis + keep bad sectors).

I tried to load that image with various dosbox versions, including dosbox-tc, but afaik the only emulator that can load .imd images and run the game is Pce, i'm using the last beta version from feb.2022

Since game mechanics are unintuitive and you cannot finish the game in the way most players would expect, I decided (quite extraordinarily) to release a walkthrough in my YT channel (please subscribe! LOL)
