1986 Mastertronic A.D.
by Derek Brewster
A game launched too late for its own good.
Resembling 'Atic Atac's' gameplay and with the 3D view of maybe 'Avalon', it was no novelty in 1986. But I think it is still a very playable game with nice graphics (apart from our knight, which I think its too silly), good sound, movement, etc, and will make the delights of any fan of Atic Atac, Underwurlde, Avalon, Spellbound, etc.
You, as Oscar, must get rid of the unholy presences which haunt the castle you've just bought and moved in. To do this you must use different weapons and items, including a jet-powered suit which will help you store items and defend yourself from the nasties.
Graphics and sound could have been reasonable in 1983, but by 1986 standards they were primitive to say the least. Still, for those who liked old classics like Atic Atac or Firelord, Con-Quest is an exploration arcade adventure which can be of some appeal. As a budget game it is certainly adequate, although it came in the same MAD range as Magic Knight's games, which are far superior.
