Hello,

I am looking for an old game (medieval setting) where player is defender of the castle.

It’s similar mechanics to The Castle (1984 by Thomas Fischermann), but better graphics.
All screen is covered by castle walls. On top there is player, running between left and right to get bomb and throw them on attackers. Bombs kills them and destroy their ladders. Attackers build ladders and climb them to get to the top. If attackers get to the top, defender should run to left or right and get sword to fight them off.

On end of the level, defender got burning bomb and all of attackers were consumed by fire. Then score was based on counting heads of attackers. Other levels have skulls or other monsters crawling on the wall, which were summoned by bad wizard.

My best guess it was on Atari XL/XE, if not, than Amiga 500.

What is the name of this game??

Thank you, it’s close, but it’s not that. It was much more sophisticated graphics.
Played by joystick. Defender has nasal helmet. If i tried to throw bomb on bad position (not hole on battlements, more like defender was covered by wall), I destroyed defense wall a little.
When I lost all health, defender head fall down on the ground.

Ok: second guess - "Ork Attack" (or "Oc Attack")? (has the sword fighting and the fire at the end of the level)
