Defender of the Crown

(Cinemaware, 1988, Macintosh)

In 1988, this Macintosh game was years ahead of the competition (not unlike many others of Techtite's choices, for Top 50 Multimedia Classics). You bought soldiers and other tools of conquest, then slowly attempted to reunite England, with you as king! Helping you on the way was Robin Hood himself, as well as a few peaceful jousting matches and other fun games- within- the- game. Fight a castle and first attempt to break down its defenses, by breaking apart its walls with a catapult...medieval "Breakout"! At one point in the game, a amiable king will ask for you to save his kidnapped daughter, in a min quest that, in its Mac version, even had bold, PG-13 undertones, and an even more immersive aspect of the story. This was one of my fave games in 1988, and one of my first programs for my first-ever Macintosh; a good memory...

Rating : Deep Impact.
