Yes I think Spellbound was never released on the MSX.  I had the C64 version
of Spellbound (then bought a Spectrum +2 and got all four on that, then
found Knight Tyme for the MSX in Woolworths 99p clearance bin (I couldn't
believe an MSX game in Woolworths in 1990!!) so I bought it)

Here is a link I've found to all the Magic Knight games.

Mine had a save game option - it was called the Multiface 128 and the +D
disk drive (two of the best pieces of hardware I ever bought for the ZX
Spectrum - Multiface 128 allowed you to mess around with memory and save the
memory state to tape, disc or microdrive (also had Lifeguard to search for
infinite lives cheats!)(the original Action Replay), +D the 3.5" disk drive
& printer system for the Spectrum (with the unique "Snapshot" button which
allowed you to save the memory to disc, save the screen to disc, or print
the screen).  The only problem with this was it meant playing the games on a
Spectrum :(

Was this one ever released for MSX? I have all the other ones, although
Finders Keepers is on the original tape which didn't load very well 15 years
ago, so I guess it can't run it from there even if I had enough patience...

> Stormbringer - Can't remember!

Magic Knight is split into a the player character and "off-white knight".
The
player has to re-unite both halves to become the full Magic Knight again.

I really liked those games. However, the lack of  save game option is a real
problem. Fortunately most emulators have a save state option right now.
