This is one of four games of superhero Bob Morane of the Belgian French-speaking comics. The Yellow Shadow is up to mischief again. This time the setting is the 13th century in the castle that belongs to the Count of Savoy. The Holy Shroud is a great religious relic that's being guarded by the minions of your arch enemy, the Yellow Shadow. The first thing that you'll notice about the game is the small playing area, it's only about a third of the screen. Down each side of it are strength indicators. The rest of the screen shows a picture of a knights head. In the playing area you see a simple 3D representation of the room that you're in and any people in there. The people are all nasty and include guards, foot soldiers and bears. When you fight them, you hold down the fire button and waggle like mad until they die. Some enemies are much stronger than others. The loser is the first one to run out of strength on their indicator. Sometimes you find a chest that'll contain something useful like a suit of armour. The interface and screen organisation is reused from the game Iznogoud. |
