Name the game - part 2

[Kropotkin]

[damn it, I hate when the site woun't accept my posts as the forum is over-used ]

The only game I can think of is Eco quest but that was an adventure game. Never played it so I can't really say if anything else match.

[Ljube]

Eco Quest is definitely not it.

Would you post a screenshot, Child of Thor?

[child of Thor]

Ok i managed to find screenshots of various quality to make it more interesting

first up a real murky shot of the C64 version that should be in colour

[Kropotkin]

Great graphics, you said...

A short summary before me move:

Released cira mid-late 80's on 8bit home computers(C64/Atari800 etc),great graphics+music(for the platforms)

Clue1: twinkle 'my' forest
Clue2: think of something that can be seen as ecologicaly a good thing
Clue3: Its an action/arcade type game, with an unusual plot
Clue4: It had three types of level to get through, but was very hard and i never got past the second level.
Clue5: It has some conection to the word 'magic'

In a roundabout way Lord Of The Rings has 'things' in it that reminds me of this game

Please dont force me to use poetry

Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh.

Hehe I've got clue 6:

Remove a 'u' from one of the games Cap got earlier and add a 'c' in its place.

I have to say I had almost completely forgotten this game, it is incredibly old.

No one can really blame you, Spikey, You were almost a toddler when this one was released. 1983

The games is Necromancer. There...I said it

But it belongs to DrSpike

Asmodean

[Spaced Cowboy]

Come on Spikey, do it to it.

[DrSpike]

Yeah, check back later and I'll do another.

[child of Thor]

Correct Dr.Spike wins with his cryptic(and correct) answer

the game was Necromancer by Synapse Software - you played the part of a hero trying to take down the Necromancer, mostly by planting lots of trees that you used to defeat the evil hoards of spiders and orcs(?),and i'll stand by what i said, the graphics were great - on the atari 8bit anyway, the animations and colours really made this a magical game to watch, and it had a great music score - one of my fav arcade type games

I've lost the other screenshots i had so i cant show you the full colour version

There...I have updated my post to reflect the fact that Spikey has guessed the last one
