Release Sword of Fargoal

[Googer]

I posted this on OpenHandhelds just now. It's a quick 'n dirty port of the enhanced / official PC remake of the C64 classic Sword of Fargoal. I took the liberty of slightly enhancing the controls for the Pandora in a way that's pretty much sensible as long as you're using the default key-mappings for the buttons. Source is included right in the PND, so anyone that wants to have at it can go right ahead. Before anyone asks, it shouldn't be writing anything to the NAND.


I find this is a perfect example of a game that benefits greatly from having gaming controls and keyboard right next to one another. Feedback, criticism, praise, etc., all welcome. Enjoy!

I've been playing this for a week now and I can't pass it. When ever I get close to the sword thieves(the inadvisable enemies) take all my spells, very annoying. Did the original game auto-save? I wish I could save the game myself.

Muahahahaa...impossible just like I always thought the original C64 game was. Anyway, the original C64 game didn't have saving at all as I remember, just play it single-session. The enhanced PC version that this is a port of auto-saves just like this Pandora version but I'll throw you a bone - you can cheat if something bad happens by quitting with the Pandora button before going back out to the main menu (at least when launched from MiniMenu).
