The game was previously known as Dragon Slayer, which has been started by another team at Linel software (I wasn’t into that project). The original concept was a simple sideway scrolling action game like Rastan with some 3D-like boss fights, but after the acquirement of Starbyte the gameplay seems to be more like Psygnosis’ Barbarian.

The original Amiga graphics by Orlando Petermann were incredibly detailed and it is a shame that Starbyte cancelled this project. The boss fights have been used in Rings of Medusa Gold, which has been published for Amiga and DOS.

Bonespark was asked for a C64 conversion. I created some screens (1 complete, 2 incomplete) and Markus Scheider composed one tune for the negotiations, but Starbyte refused our conditions."
