So wie das von mir heute vorgestellte C64-Spiel, das so gut wie niemand mehr kennen d\u00fcrfte: <b>Knight Games<\/b> ist eine mittelm\u00e4\u00dfige Mittelalter-Olympiade, in der ihr entweder euch mit Schwertern im Zweikampf duelliert oder oder euch im Bogenschie\u00dfen messt.<\/p>\n<p>Die Musik von <b>Knight Games<\/b> f\u00e4llt weniger aufgrund irgendwelch origineller Kompositionen auf, sondern vielmehr dank des herrlichen Mittelalter-Fellings, den die via SID-Chip emulierten Instrumente ausstrahlen. Mal klingt sie eher heroisch, mal fast schon wie eine Ballade, als ob ein Barde mit seiner Laute im Hintergrund tr\u00e4llert.<\/p>\n<p>Obwohl der synthetische Klang unbestreitbar ist und er technisch hinter Gr\u00f6\u00dfen wie Hubbard, H\u00fclsbeck oder Galway hinterher hinkt, hat es Whittaker geschafft, eine mit einer Live-Band vergleichbaren Atmosph\u00e4re zu erzeugen. M\u00e4chtig viele Bonuspunkte erh\u00e4lt der geb\u00fcrtige Engl\u00e4nder f\u00fcr den ungew\u00f6hnlichen hohen Umfang: Das Spiel bietet insgesamt acht Disziplinen, die Whittaker allesamt individuell vertont hat \u2013 was anno 1986 alles andere als selbstverst\u00e4ndlich war.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_35828\"  width=\"576\" height=\"432\"  data-origwidth=\"576\" data-origheight=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PDTYUWEAO9E?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Knight_Games.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-4614\" alt=\"Knight_Games\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Knight_Games-763x1024.jpg\" width=\"576\" height=\"773\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Knight_Games-763x1024.jpg 763w, https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Knight_Games-223x300.jpg 223w, https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Knight_Games.jpg 1775w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Composer: David Whittaker System: C64 Year: 1986<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4618","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-score","category-personal-top-365-score"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4618","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4618"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4618\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4620,"href":"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4618\/revisions\/4620"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4618"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4618"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4618"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
