The
computer game sequel to
The Wizard's Crown, by
SSI, written for the
Apple II. The
game mechanics, including
magic and
combat, were a good extension of the
RuneQuest-like
groundwork laid in
Wizard's Crown.
The
characters (which may be imported from
'Crown) arrive in the
game world to find the
Eternal Dagger and slay a
demon prince and his
invading horde. Play takes place across several islands, each with unique challenges.
Again, the set encounters provide not nearly enough experience or equipment to take on the
Big Nasty in the endgame.
The
Big Nasty was
vulnerable to only one weapon (the Eternal Dagger, of course), but there was a
cheat whereby you could get an
Eternal Dagger for every
member of the party, whereas the game seemed to be
designed with the
intent of the Eternal Dagger being a
unique item in the game.
