Play Artura Online
You play as Arthur’s kid, swinging an axe at spiders in maze-like caves where half the platforms are hidden—good luck finding those runes without the poster map. Everything respawns if you backtrack, so that bat swarm isn’t going away.
Game Overview
Artura is one of those old-school MS-DOS platformers that feels way harder than it looks. You play as King Arthur’s son, swinging a hatchet at spiders and bats while hunting down six magic runes to rescue Nimue. The levels are brutal—like, "needed to include a full-sized poster map in the box" brutal. I remember getting lost in the first cave for ages before realizing half the platforms were hidden behind weird perspective tricks.
Combat’s simple but tense since everything respawns if you backtrack. The Amiga version’s got this moody synth soundtrack that somehow makes bats flying at your face feel epic. Not gonna lie, I still haven’t beaten the third level after all these years. That poster map might’ve been the real hero.
Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
