The best classic Speccy game beginning with K: discussion

[Pegaz]

I would also nominate a few more games:

Knight Rider

Kung-Fu
https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/index.p ... 96&id=2778
Komando 2

Kontrabant 2

Komando 2

Its poster certainly depicts some of the harshest realities of war.

Knight Lore? Never heard of it.

Come on! You’ve never heard of the two brothers, Data and Lore, who both got knighted on the same day?

Kinda looks to me like the aftermath of a pride rally ... "Not even spit for you boy!"

Kung-Fu

I think it deserves a place here as It's one of the first fight games for the Spectrum (maybe the first?), released one year before The Way of the Exploding Fist or International Karate, and it's a good one.

[Pegaz]

Yes, this is one of the reasons for putting it in competition, because I think it's really the first fighting game on Spectrum.
Another reason is, that the game was made by my countrymens from the ex Yugoslavia.
One of them, Dusko Dimitrijevic, is the author of several Spectrum games such as the Movie, Phantom Club and a few others.

Knight Lore? Never heard of it.

Come on! You’ve never heard of the two brothers, Data and Lore, who both got knighted on the same day?

Shouldn't it be Knights Data & Lore?

Anyway, I've checked the K list and didn't find anything to add.

Shouldn't it be Knights Data Lore?

No. It’s Knight Data and Knight Lore. Ultimate planned to release Knight Data right after Mire Mare.

[Juan F. Ramirez]

... and then a guy who worked for Ultimate appears and say 'I've seen Knight Data, and I've played it'.

[WIWC]

I'm learning so many things, guys.

[hitm4n]

No contest on this letter. Should be a whitewash.

[Morkin]

Yep.

Definitely going to vote for this one..

[PeteProdge]

If we're going for P?s?-takes, well...

But surely the winner's got to be Khaos?

[stupidget]

Pretty sure my vote will be for Kokotoni Wilf. It was a game that my Grandma bought me for Christmas one year without even asking what I wanted. When I got the present I was hoping for the latest blockbuster, but, when I unwrapped it I had to do the usual 'Oh wow this is exactly what I wanted' impression I then spent the rest of the day playing the game in the kitchen on my portable black 'n white tv. At the time I wasn't that impressed with it as it was pretty slow, but, now I thinks it's one of my favourite games.

[Juan F. Ramirez]

I love Kokotoni Wilf too. Not the best graphics or sounds, but It has a special charm that makes it cool to play.

Surely if Komplex City wasn't actually released way back when, then it can't be in the 'Classics' list?

Hmmm... it's a bit ambiguous but I still say it's a 1985 game.
