I like the sub-title - History Repeats Itself, in a good way.

QUOTEAnyone who remembers Warlords for the Atari 2600 will most likely, if not for it's name, recognize Medieval Mayhem as the answer to all that was missing in atari's earlier home release. After so many years, someone finally has taken the time and done a great job at addressing what was left out of the first game as compared to the arcade, which I'll get to shortly.

 

Although most would call this new homebrew a warlords sequel, I perfer to see it as Warlords "done right". Not to say Atari's Warlords was terrible; considering the limitations back then, it was actually a very decent port preserving the basic elements of the arcade with additional unique features added. However, according to how faithful the later Medieval Mayhem is to the arcade Warlords, it boasts even more features that put it in a league of it's own.

 

Score Summary:

Graphics 95%
