Ten... eight-bit classic games

CurtisBoyle

Phantom Slayer

I was a huge fan of this game on the TRS-80 Color Computer (upon which the Dragon 32 was based). I have a game website that his a little write up (and some screen shots) of the game as well (http://www.lcurtisboyle.com/nitros9/phantomslayer.html).

I also have an interview with the author (Ken Kalish) about his development of all of his games, including some he did (at the time) exclusively for the Dragon systems. (http://www.lcurtisboyle.com/nitros9/interview.html)

From what I remember of other 3D games out in the 1981-1983 time frame, none of them had the feel (or as good of real-time play) as Phantom Slayer did, in comparison with later classics like Wolfenstein, etc.
