Back To The Golden Age

STORY / GAMEPLAY
You are a mighty knight on a mission to find the princess that's kiddnapped by the evil lord of the mainland. The evil lord opposed towards you a whole army of warriors, knights, archers or even bats and other foes, so you must fight your way through using your trusty sword and your powerful shield. You must also pass through several doors that lead to either a room (with various bonuses to collect), a shop (where you can buy spells, energy boosts and weapons) or even castles where you discover and open various objects that grant you with money.

GRAPHICS / SOUND
The game looks like a mix of the great Silmarils' Targhan and the Ubi Soft's Night Hunter. The graphics are gorgeous with many colors and a plethora of cool details. The sprites look impressive and the animation is good (though I found some minor slowdown issues here and there). The sound effects are all sampled (from the ambient sounds to the clangs of the swords) and the intro music is a well composed sampled tune. Ubi Soft definitely managed to make another great game for the ST (as they usually did back then) and Back To The Golden Age is surely one of the best ST games ever!
