Zorro (DOS, 1995)

The 1995 Zorro game is an adaptation of several Zorro books, starring the titular Californio. It's a Prince of Persia clone, but dare we say it, a buggy one almost as bad as Prince of Persia 2: The Shadow and the Flame on the SNES released the same year. At least Capstone was really trying to make this game playable.

A "super upgrade" patch was released on April 4, 1995, which provides the following:

  • Saved games can be named.
  • Saved games now display a picture of the location it was saved at.
  • Saves the state of any enemies that have been killed, as well as any gold bars or Z's that have been collected.
  • Fixes a somewhat useful bug where you could press Escape to pause the game and save Zorro from an otherwise fatal fall.
