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...
