SERPENT FROM HELL
Richard Shirley & Paul Johnson (1985)
Walk Through with Dorothy Millard (Spectrum Version)
Scenario
As the last surviving knight of the round table, you must find Excalibur and kill Goroth, the
Serpent from Hell, before it destroys the world.
General Note:
Lots of patience is required because of the extremely slow graphics and every time you take an
object the screen is refreshed. If played on an emulator I recommend you speed it up!
