Knight Lore was not a regular arcade it was the first isometric game that I ever played, and was not just about jump and running it was an adventure game, we had missions to complete!
The plot of the game was simple: Somehow we became a werewolf, cursed by a powerful spell and at Knight Lore castle we have to help Melkhior the wizard to free us from the curse. But there is a trick, Melkhior is dying and we just have 40 days to achieve the missions and be free from the curse by the good wizard.
During the time that I was playing back in the 80's I was living my "Led Zeppelin phase", "Knight Lore" and "The Battle of Evermore" were glue together in my mind.
And the graphics were awesome! the werewolf and the castle all in 8bit!
Until today (along with Tir na nog ) I think Knight lore has one of the most elegant graphic in game design history!
So...to pay my respect to this very special game I did some Tees for the hardcore Knight Lore enthusiasts like me!
The werewolf (spelt as "werewulf" in the game)
The Presentation Screen of KL
This last tee was an idea of my friend Jacob, we had a conversation about the loneliness of some game characters and the werewolf of Kl came up.
Jacob - "That guy is really f** up!...I mean he is basically alone the whole game. There are just some forms of energy and guards (that want to kill him!) to make him company."
krullnther - " So, who you think that would be his ideal mate?"
Jacob - "In Zx world, in my opinion, for the KL Werewolf: Phantomasa!"
krullnther - " I know! Phantomasa would be yours ideal GF in real world too..."
