WELCOME TO PANDA'S
PAGE DEDICATED TO
THE CLASSIC STRATEGY GAME

The game is set in Medieval England and is loosely based
on the 1952 classic movie Ivanhoe
. King Richard has been assassinated
and England needs a new King. Just to make it worse, the Royal Crown
has been stolen. A civil war breaks out and so begins the battle
between 6 Lords to take over all of England. You get to join the
action as one of 4 Saxon Lords. You start off with one castle and
a tiny army, and must conquer other counties to boost your income
and army. You get to fight computer simulated battles, raid enemy
castles, fire a catapult at castle walls, go jousting, rescue a
few beautiful maidens in distress (my favourite part) and the list
goes on. Robin Hood
makes a guest appearance of course. In fact
Robin was the one who stole the Crown...oops sorry, I just ruined
the whole game.

Defender of the Crown was released on many different
platforms and I am collecting as many versions as possible. Please contact
me if you have anything I can add to this page.

* NOTE: The PC - CGA, and PC - EGA versions of
the games were designed to run on older IBM compatible Systems so
you may have problems getting them to run on a modern PC as the
game runs to fast or you graphics or sound cards may not be supported.
You can download the Commodore 64 or Amiga versions
and then use an emulator to run the game on your PC. I recommend
downloading the C64 version and using CCS64
Defender of the Crown: Heroes Live Forever
is another remake of the Classic game by eGames
Here are some screenshots of the game I have collected.
