The original defender of the Crown is a masterpiece. That much is obvious or I would not be here. The sword play, breaking down castle walls with a catapult, the sub plots behind the main story. It was also so incredibly original and so impressive. But most importantly, a game that gave me immense pleasure! When I heard that there was a remastered edition, I was taken by surprise because I had searched for a newer Cinemaware games, but when I searched, the remastered edition never came up. I just found out recently. The graphics in the 1980s were truly incredible for their time. I can only imagine the remastered version. Even though it is 20 years old it must be sensational! There was a remake called “Robin Hood: defender of the crown”. It’s a great game but slightly different than the original. I kept my eye on Cinemaware to see what new games they might make. Again, somehow the remaster escaped me. I very much hope it won’t happen again.
