Defender of the Crown is a strategy game that was released in 1986 for the Commodore 64 among other platforms. Developed by Cinemaware, the game is set in medieval England and combines elements of strategy, adventure, and arcade action. Players take on the role of a Saxon knight in a quest to unite the country and defend against Norman invaders. The player must manage resources, engage in jousts, lay siege to castles, and strategize to gain control of the land. The game's graphics and cinematic approach were highly innovative for its time.
