Intro. Castle Daventry is about to disappear
thumbnail
As the credits run...
thumbnail
Not only the owl can speak; he can speak JAPANESE! :)

Dig this "absent-minded professor" outfit, dude. A tad overkill with the whole "I'm-too-cool-for-underwear" attitude, though...

Go, brave warrior! Go!...

Unsure whether you should go on that path or not, you open the Sierra icon interaction menu

thumbnail
Nice view of the city. Too bad the graphics on PC-98 are so lousy

Another wacky fantasy creature. A tree who is playing a harp. Maybe I should get a piano for her. Maybe she could swing, you know. Play Thelonious Monk or something
thumbnail

thumbnail
You get zapped...
thumbnail
...and turned into a frog. You'd think you could continue the game in a frog form, but no. Game is over
thumbnail
Nice architecture!
thumbnail
All house interiors are displayed in small windows. Very annoying, uncomfortable, and just plain bad-looking
thumbnail
I wonder what those guys are doing there...

Hey, now I want to play Ultima
thumbnail
The classic Sierra Desert To Be Lost In (TM)
thumbnail
Beautiful view here. You try to talk to yourself
thumbnail
You get bitten by a scorpion... Life was good as long as it lasted

They really tried, but the inferior graphics of PC-98 made this town look less beautiful than it was supposed to
