Dedicated to an old best mate of mine and
Moonstone-playing compadre, Daniel Wright. Dan
died in 2005, aged just 25. Rest in peace, Wrighty...

 elcome weary
travellers to
The Moonstone
Tavern,
the
only site
on the Web dedicated to the 1991 Commodore Amiga/PC classic and pioneer
of gaming gore that is
Moonstone: A Hard Days Knight.
Contained within is
a history of the quest, an extensive bestiary, battle tactics, ROMs, movies
for download, features plus tons of gory screenshots that will
no doubt bring the bloody memories flooding back... So why not treat yourself to a
flagon of frothing ale (on the house, naturally!), put your feet up and
reminisce with me as I take you for a sojourn through
Rob Anderson's
magnificent and
charnel-splattered
world of knights, monsters and valiant derring-do...
Amazing Moonstone
concept art - both official and fan-made - lands! See more (inc. high-res downloads) in
the Box Art, Music & Wallpaper section.
 he liberal use of blood
is just one of the many reasons why Moonstone has continued to attract
and retain such a cult following over the years.
Banned in Germany
and condemned in the the USA, the game
was a hack-and-slash gore-fest with some truly
shocking death animations.
Ground-breakingly explicit graphics, a brooding soundtrack by
Amiga maestro Richard Joseph and perhaps
the greatest intro sequence ever
combined to create a taut atmosphere of prevailing doom. If you've played
Moonstone before, you'll no doubt want to reminisce, if you haven't: what
the hell are you waiting for? Go
download
it ASAP!
