The game was kind of a fantasy adventure where your character sets out to defeat some sort of magical wizard/king/villain, and the basic mechanic that I remember is that you talked to various creatures, the bear people, or the unicorns, or the dwarves, and assemble an army of allies that could take on the villain’s army.
I mostly remember the game would give you a hint as to how the battle was going to go by listing how many of your allies showed up like:
'Your
5,000 dwarves
350 unicorns
23 griffons
attack the enemy with
8,200 wights
2,000 minotaurs
etc.’
Anyone have memories or thoughts about what game it might have been or what similar games might have existed?
King’s Bounty seems way more complicated than this game was; it was also definitely not as late as 1990, there were no graphics at all, just text - it was a contemporary of Aztec and Choplifter (I think we got a set of games from someone and it likely had those two in it also)
Aha! It wasn’t Fortress of the Witch King, but I followed your link and it was listed there - it was The Sword of Zedek
Thanks! You totally got me to the right place - I would never have remembered that name, and it doesn’t even appear in the list of Apple II games on wikipedia!
