In a similar vein from Phipps Associates is Killer Knight, in which, because of a freak time-slip, an evil knight has dragged away your girl friend whom you must try to rescue. The medieval trappings cannot disguise the basic Kong pattern.

The hero's flea-like hopping movements are novel but otherwise the difficulty of getting very far into the game without starting again, and the fact that it is possible to notch a high score by running back and forth along the bottom level, make it slightly inferior to some variations on the theme.

KILLER KNIGHT
Phipps Associates / £5.95
A killer knight has captured your companion, so naturally it's your duty to carry out a rescue. Unfortunately, KK is not above doing everything in his power to stop you reaching the tower ...
Dilwyn For some reason I expected this to be a text-only adventure, when actually it's a machine code graphic arcade game. I didn't go for the choice of keys - but then it's also possible to use a Kempston joystick. 7/10
Ieuan 12th century blend of Donkey Kong and Digger. It's quite fast, indeed sometimes too fast. The knight moves and sounds like a cricket, and I also found that jumping slows down the graphics. 7/10
Gerralt Only a highest score is shown on- screen - you're not even given the satisfaction of seeing your name in lights! 7/10
