About this game

Knight On The Town is a 1981 Atari 2600 action simulator developed by Playaround and published by PlayAround.

Play as a knight attempting to cross a moat and rescue a princess. Construct the drawbridge piece by piece while dodging a dragon's fire, an alligator in the moat, and a fast-moving gremlin. The gremlin becomes faster with each bridge section placed, so the goal is to complete the bridge and reach the top of the tower in as little time as possible.

For Lady in Wading offers a variation in which an Amazon takes the knight's role while a prince has been abducted.
