Moonstone: A Hard Day's Knight, is a computer game developed and published by Mindscape in 1992. It was released on the Amiga and PC.
The player takes on the role of a chosen knight who is sent by the druids to return the mystical moonstone. The game can be played from 1 to 4 players at once, with no difference between solo and multiplayer as no matter how many players play, the others will be the computer rivals. Wandering through the map, you can visit enchanted places, towns where you can buy equipment or try your luck in gambling, but mostly visited places on the map will be dolmens which represent the places where certain enemy beasts are. Each spot has about two or more beasts which after defeating them can be rewarding in a certain way, depending on game's randomize placement.
Also, for example, if the place has three beasts and you kill two before you die, next time you (or some other player) go back there, there'll be only one beast left to fight. It's also possible for two players to run into each other and, once defeating the other, the one who prevails can steal the other player's money and equipment. Thus, searching for the moonstone begins, but that's only half of the story. The rest unfolds once you find it.
