Hello

I wonder why Knightmare was never relased on the Arcade Machines?

I played around on MAME but cant find it ?

Maybe its only released on MSX?

hehe funny piece of hardware Smile

Anyway i bet Knightmare could look very nice, on Arcade. Or even if there came out a MSX2, 2+, Turbo- R version Smile

How about a PlayStation version Smile anyway. I know there is something called Knightmare Gold out.

Actually, Knightmare exists for arcades, and even on PC. Sadly the PC version is awful (EGA and PC Speaker) and the arcade version is (or was) not emulated (cryptographed).

The PC version is called Myth. IIRC the arcade one has the same name.

No, Slotman, I am almost sure that I read some years ago in UNMAMED (http://unmamed.mame.net/) about an unemulated Konami game called Myth (I cannot find info on it now, though). The screenshots in the site at that time showed a more polished Knightmare.

BTW, there´s also a SEGA Knightmare clone called Mr. Viking, not the same game I am talking about. :)

hi.
Actually i cant find anything about the Arcade or PC version.

Even its Cryptographed, it should be possible for someone to make it work on MAME.

I saw in the list it have more Cryptographed games.

Actually what does it mean - Cryptographed ? Encrypted code?

Yep, sure, encrypted code. There're no Myth or Knightmare listed as unmamed games; but I've found a curious "Sparkie", there's no pics of the game; but I guess that it must be the same Sparkie game.

but shoul the mame care about crypt? are the files not only dumps of the original and unchanged roms? and why wanted konami to crypt the data? to prevent copies or reverse engine ?

Actually the myth becomes stronger when you check the klov (linkie). That was spotted years ago at Knightmare Saga: "You control a knight who uses weapons on bats and other enemies." oO
