A reworked console take on a computer strategy classic, with real-time exploration, and an above-the-middle US cart.
This is the Genesis version of King's Bounty, the fantasy game from New World Computing that began on computers. Electronic Arts published the Genesis port in North America and Europe in 1991. It changes the game noticeably: the graphics were redone and overworld exploration happens in real time rather than turn by turn. You play a hero of King Maximus sent to recover the Sceptre of Order from the forces of chaos.
Mean Machines Sega described the overworld you run around in as sparsely populated and blocky.
What the press said at the time
| Mean Machines Games Guide | May 1992 | OVERALL 71% |
| Mean Machines Sega Issue 3 | December 1992 | 71% |
“A fairiy complex , non-action oriented role-playir^ game which should appeal to fans of the genre.”
“A fairly complex, non-action oriented role-playing game which should appeal to fans of the genre.”
How the Sega Genesis version differs
The Genesis port, released in North America on February 21, 1991, moves the overworld to real time: armies now move on their own and engage the hero automatically.
It uses the same improved graphic set as the Amiga version, and displays wandering armies by their most powerful stack rather than by continent.
The Lessers gave the Genesis version 3 out of 5 stars in Dragon #175.
Also on other platforms
Commodore 64 · Amiga · MS-DOS · Apple II · Mac · FM Towns · PC-98 · Windows
- MS-DOS. In the DOS version a careful player could often maneuver past several wandering armies without being engaged; the Lessers also gave it 3 stars in Dragon #187.
- Amiga. The Amiga version had an improved graphic set that the Genesis port reused.
Before you buy
Among US carts it sits above the middle. The European cart usually costs about the same as the US one, loose or complete. A complete US copy means the case, cartridge and manual.
