Baron

In Baron, the young Prince Jason enters the evil Baron's castle after learning that his father's old friend, a wizard, has been imprisoned. To free him, Jason must find the wizard's Book of Spells, Wand, Crystal Ball, and Ring, then take them to his cell.

The game features 133 screens and 49 objects. Jason can carry only two objects at a time, and items may be dropped only on their matching coloured bases. Animals and guards stand in his way throughout the castle.
