Baron Baldric: A Grave Adventure
The character Baron Baldric is quite known among Apogee fans for his
appearance in Mystic Towers, but the Baron had earlier appeared in this side-
scrolling game. It is considered very rare since the registered version was
only sold in the Australian territory.
The story behind _Baron Baldric: A Grave Adventure_ takes place under Castle
Pedabouch. You have to search for the family treasures in the tomb: it was
told that, centuries before, Baron Baldric’s ancestor, Baron Lazarus
Pedabouche studied an evil Wolf-Magic and turned into a cruel tyrant:
fortunately, when he seized Rosie, a local milk-maid, he was stoned to death
by his own subjects. Rosie died too, and was doomed to haunt the whole castle
until the ancient baron was slain.
The game is somewhat similar to Impossible Mission 2 and the earlier
Montezuma’s Revenge because of many elements bringing the game far from the
action genre. You have to find flints to light lamps when they go out, and
regularly eat food to survive the maze.
