Zorro

Zorro is a DOS action-adventure game released by Capstone Software in 1995, starring the iconic masked swordsman. The gameplay draws clear inspiration from Prince of Persia, adopting a measured, deliberate side-scrolling design with an emphasis on precise movement and environmental puzzle-solving. Players carry two weapons — a whip for longer reach and a sword for raw power — and must switch between them to handle different situations. The levels are laced with inventive puzzles, such as branding a raging bull and launching across gaps with catapult mechanisms. Across 20 scenes punctuated by full-motion video cutscenes, the game maintains a cinematic atmosphere, though its steep difficulty curve demands real patience from the player.
