Knight Orc

Knight Orc is an adventure game developed by Level 9 Computing and published by Rainbird Software. Released in 1986, it introduces a redesigned approach to exploration that reduces the need for manual mapping and remembering where items were left.

Players can focus on identifying the object they need or choosing the location they want to reach. The streamlined operation is balanced by independent characters who can interfere with progress, take sought-after items, and attack with persistent determination.

The game also features digitised pictures, with the Amiga version noted for displaying more colour per image than the other versions. It was released for Amiga, Amstrad CPC, Apple II, Atari 8-bit, Atari ST/STE, Commodore C64/128/MAX, DOS, Mac, MSX, and ZX Spectrum.
