Yet another game due out on the Commodore 64 but never arrived. Knight Force’s plot was to be as follows:
“The knight has to fight all the bad guys to get to Red Sabbath in a side scrolling action game.”
The game was released on the 16-bits, but wasn’t anything new and it had quite average reviews. Titus seemed to be reluctant to release C64 titles at a frequent pace, and many titles seem to have been lost at sea. Knight Force is one such title which has disappeared off the face of the earth. Was a C64 conversion started? If so, why was it cancelled?
Thanks to Marco Das, we got in touch with the 16-bit creator Alain Fernandes who said the following:
“Knight Force is never edited on Commodore 64, (90% certain). 1989/1990 is end of the Commodore 64 market.. and Titus , is never big sealer in Germany ( The bigest market with the US )… Titus make the major profit with the French market…
After 1995 , Titus change, and is start a new age, with international market, but is only on PC and “Console” market.”
However the Spectrum and CPC versions did get a release and depict a standard beat-em-up affair with pretty graphics and little or no playability. The game flopped it seems.
Oddly though – the Commodore 64 version is listed in the instructions (see downloads for the manual). Surely, something must have been started? This of course contradicts earlier reports from Alan – and perhaps there was something after all?
