I’ve been playing The Black Knight a lot lately.  I think the strategy is to ignore buying weapons until you can get the mace, but buy at least the amulet and the strength potion every time.  Actually, I think there is no strategy because I swear it’s random as to whether there’s even enough stuff in the level to get you enough money to continue.

But come on, who can complain about a game where you beat up helpless peasents with large weapons to collect tax money?  And the music is so cheery!
