I was there in the computer shop on the day Knight Lore was first loaded into the demonstration Speccy. Within 30 seconds there was a crowd about seven deep, everyone clambering over each other to get a better look.
Without a shadow of doubt Knight Lore is one of the few truly jaw-dropping games that have been released over the last 30-odd years and still has the distinction of looking pretty good today.
I've always loved Knight Lore and I readily admit that I ignore it's shortcomings. There's a lot of slowdown on some screens, deaths are sometimes unfair and it is a very samey game.
Nonetheless, it will forever remain my favourite ever Speccy game.
