Re:KM Feature From 1987 Games Mag
It's very interesting to read an article from when Knightmare was still in its infancy 20 years ago.
The Pilot would be a good thing to be able to watch, someday.

That's a really great find.
Well done! How did you come across it?.
I would like to include it on the site in the next update.

Thanks
I collect scans of old games magazines (don't really read them much though) and just by chance found this and thought you'd like it.

Re:KM Feature From 1987 Games Mag
Interesting article.
Noticed a few random bits in there, much of which was used and at least 2 that weren't which intrigue me the most.
The room painting showing 2 semi circular stairways coming down together. (Presumably abandoned because of the difficulty of staging such a room back then)
... and the strange scimtar wielding character all in Chromakey Blue.
Anyone know something about these that I don't?

There are but 2 rules in this realm:-

I went ahead and typed up the entire article from those images, as I think it's an awesome article to read. It doesn't have the pictures, but you can see the rest of the article in text form at http://neo.theblob.org/km-gamesmag-article.html .
Hope somebody finds this useful.

Re:KM Feature From 1987 Games Mag
Thanks for putting up the artice and that
I just wanna say that I didn't scan the pages if you wanna change the news item. I just picked them out of a scan that I downloaded. I don't know who originally scanned the magazine.

Re:KM Feature From 1987 Games Mag
Great article! I enjoyed reading that.
I don't really recall The Games Machine.
At the time I was into Your Sinclair, Sinclair User, C+VG, then a bit later I was in Sega Power and Mean Machines.
Now I'm regular reader of Retro Gamer.
This was a great read though.
I always loved the knightmare games that came out on the Speccy and the Amiga.
I still play the Speccy version on my emulator a lot...
