Defender of the Crown - Extended Collector's Edition by Cinemaware Retro - Unboxed!

When I was a teen in the 90's I was a massive fan and collector of the Cinemaware line up on the Amiga such as Defender of the Crown, It Came from the Desert and my all time favourite Wings. But even though a remastered edition of Wings was later released on the PC through a successful Kickstarter campaign, I have still been eagerly awaiting the collectors edition of the Defender of the Crown released by Cinemaware Retro for multiple systems including even the Amiga CD32. Thus today in my hands are "TWO" Defender of the Crown Extended Collector's Editions, both signed with one of them opened up just for you.

Defender of the Crown - ZX Spectrum edition by Cinemaware Retro limited to 250 units!

We've been keeping an eye on the speccy forums this week and after a heads up by our good friends Cinemaware Retro, they have announced the full details of the Defender of the Crown ZX Spectrum version. As many of you know, not long ago we spoke of a rare game by Mirrosoft that according to Cinemaware was never officially released, although some of our members have said otherwise. Yet this week as shown by the image above, Cinemaware Retro have told us the FIXED version is available for order, limited to just 250 units and shipping will begin October 2016.

Never released Defender of the Crown for the ZX Spectrum revealed!

One game I remember so fondly, one that will be in my mind till the day I pass, is Cinemaware's fantastic medieval game ' Defender of the Crown ' from 1986. It was released for multiple systems including the Amiga, DOS, NES, Atari ST, Amstrad CPC, C64, Macintosh and the Apple IIGS in 1988 with a CD-i version released later. A grand game with jousting, rescuing damsels in distress, conquest and even catapults again castles that sadly never appeared on the ZX Spectrum as a commercial product by Mirrosoft. But now, thanks to a contact by none other than Cinemaware, they have revealed a full version of Defender of the Crown for the ZX Spectrum which will be released!
