[edit] Description

Gold Quest II - The Dwarves of Doom is the sequel to Gold Quest. After the three-headed king of dwarves was defeated by Sledgie, he was hit by his curse. Sledgie has to enter the realm of the dead dwarves, to free himself from the curse. There he has to cross 6 new levels, to finally fight against the ghost of the dead dwarf king in the bonus level. Only after he has destroyed the 3 brains, the adventure is solved.

The path to the aim is very difficult. In Gold Quest II also gold and jewels are helpful. This time you cannot only find them on the ground, but also in treasure chests. In the first level Hell of Gold Sledige reaches the realm of the dead. It stretches over two more levels Wizard of Gold and Maze of Gold. From the 4th level Body of Gold you enter the body of the keeper of the underworld. Using the bloodstream in the 5th level Blood of Gold Sledgie finally reaches the brains of the keeper: Brain of Gold. There in the Bonus-level he has to erase the memories to reach his goal.

[edit] Design

Uni- and multi-coloured moving sprites on a simple background graphic in all colours of the C64. When moving the pawn, the screen scrolls from bottom to the top. In the 5th level Blood of Gold, the screen scrolls only for the display of the flowing of the blood. the intro and the music were created by Richard Bayliss.

The 2nd level Wizard of Gold contains elements from the game Wizard of Wor. The game area and the sprites are designed similarly. The final boss of this level is an own creation of the developer: the so-called Wizard of Gold (or magician in a sweat suit).

The end boss of the 4th level Body of Gold appears right at the beginning of the level:

Through his face leads he way into his brain.
