Title
Even though it's a super simple strategy game that you can master after an hour, I quite like it for some reason. Basically it's a grand strategy game where the goal is to conquer all territory.

The interesting thing is that you have options like raiding castles overnight for gold or entering jousting competitions where you can stake land, and they are actual mini games, although in the Amiga version you can barely figure out what you're supposed to do in them(as they are incomplete). This is why I recommend playing the NES version, since in there you have an advanced UI that tells you your health status during raiding, wall defense, or jousting, etc. as well as much-needed advanced tactics like garrisoning units in castles. The original Amiga version is still the prettiest though, but sadly really suffers from its lack of features.
