This is the game that Jim Sachs is most famous for and which most people remember, even today.
He was responsible for most of the graphics of the original. For the sequel he took everything into his own hands and completely rebuilt the game.
The graphics, although looking fairly similar, also received a major overhaul. Ranging from minor adjustments to complete repaints. Most of the images were also extended to 64 colors, utilizing the Amigas EHB screen mode.
Images from Defender of the Crown (1986) and Defender of the Crown 2 (1993) are combined and can be compared directly via the Comparison Mode.
