Dragon Slayer from Linel?
Hi
Difficult to discuss about this game which has never been released. What I want to know if it exists as a demo ? I see people coming and saying.No,not at all.Dragon sequence has been used in another game (Ring of Medusa),a C64 non-playable demo exists etc etc. But..there are so many different pictures out there in magazines that I find very strange there weren t any demo or animation set ? If anyone knows anything apart from what we all know already from the net It will be very helpful because this game is like a treasure to me. Thanks for reading and sorry for my french Regards Alexandre |

I too was very interested in this game and very surprised and disappointed that it was not finalized.
It might have looked a little like Barbarian or Skrull, but I would argue that it would have been much better. I don’t have any more information than the Tilt magazines, Generation 4, published at the time. Bon courage dans vos recherches |

...taken from another website (GTW64)
....Created by Hans Ippisch who was interviewed in an old magazine. A question posed to him was about any unfinished projects which were gathering dust. His reply was that he had started on a game called “Dragon Slayer”, which only one level was ever almost finished..... The best way is to try contacting him but couldn t I have the strange feeling this guy was more on C64 conversion or it is just me... Last edited by Kenshigros; 11 February 2019 at 15:50. |

A few parts from the unreleased game were later used in Rings of Medusa Gold. After Starbyte took the game and wanted to make a Barbarian clone (Warrior of Darkness) out of the Dragon Slayer idea.

Posting in this forum, because I have a general question: Is it normal for Amiga Games That Weren't to be mentioned on HOL? I'm thinking it's not MIA if there's no written reference mentioning that it was indeed published?
Currently, there's a Dragon Slayer on HOL, but it's not quite the same game :P Anyway, here's a very very pixely video, so at least a playable version (demo?) seems to have found its way "into the wild". [ Show youtube player ] It has the ATGW link in description. It was advertised in C+VG Nov '88, about 65% into the magazine. (They didn't believe in page numbers...) Edit: by all means check the other thread instead |
