Heroes & Cowards is a classic adventure for the Commodore C64.

The Story:
He just wanted a comfy night in front of his TV when our hero was cast into a distant, medieval world by a mysterious force. The inhabitants of the cozy little country of Dartenwood were turned to stone by nasty magician Morlon - and only the Pentagram of Power can break the spell. However, its rubies are scattered throughout the land ... All of Dartenwood's hopes are now resting on a chosen one who's supposed to get everything under control. By some inexplicable cosmic twist of fate, YOU'RE supposed to be that one! Your journey from zero to hero includes a whole lot of jeopardies and unsolvable riddles - are you up for it? Are you a hero - or a coward?

This game desperately needs some comments. I did get it when it was released and it came in a beautiful box with lots of goodies. But the game itself is just as great as the packaging. It has nice graphics, fun gameplay and great music. Highly recommended!
