Castle of Mydor

Commodore 64CassetteDisk

An evil wizard has cast a spell over the land of Mydor and stolen away the sacred Crown, symbol of the Kingdom's power. You must find the wizard's cave hidden deep beneath the dungeons, defeat the wizard and return the Crown to the throne room. But beware — many dangers lie in store inside the Castle of Mydor.
