Knightmare is a game made by Konami in 1985 for the MSX computer system that reached legendary status and has a cult following. In the year of 2015 a remake was made after two years of hard work.

Important notice about the cheats

Sadly the level select doesn’t work on the standard version of the game, only the golden version so I uploaded it and it’s available for download. It was discontinued by the developers because it’s sold in a physical disk format in a very limited form. It’s worth mentioning that the package contains some original artwork as well.
However it was available for free before that and versions can be found online if you know what you are looking for. I’ve uploaded a version here.

Even tho the gameplay is similar it has some minor differences, you get a choice of 4 characters to play with including a penguin (I wonder why?).
