Can Anyone Help Identifying This Game...?

I hope there's someone here who knows what I'm referring to. It's a game I used to play on the Speccy aaaages ago and would *love* to play, or at least reads more about, but I can't for the life of me think what the title was.

I know it was 'Prince' something, and it was a 1 or 2 player game where you were this guy and you had to go through a series of rooms fighting people until you discovered the crown room where you became prince, or something. The playing screens for each side were very big.

I wish I could offer more explaination but I can't. I hope these meagre ramblings are enough to go on.

Many thanks in advance!

    I'll hazard a guess at Karateka?

    If it's not that, then what type of fighting was it? Martial arts? Swords? Sticks?

    It sounds a bit like Throne of Fire.

    Then again, there's a lot of other games it could be.

    Throne of Fire - I also had that game.

    EDIT: oops - beaten to it yet again!

    but as stated above, it could of course be something else.

    When I read the going through a series of rooms bit I thought about posting Atic Atac...but I wont.

    It's definitely Bumpy.

    I know, I'm a bit late but I do have a life outside my apartment. :)

    Prince of Persia? Not sure about the two player mode, but everything else sounds like it.

    Wait, I have it! It has to be "Throne of Fire".

    Welcome to the forums Baggers. Hudson Hawk was one of the more visually satisfying games on the Spectrum IMO and playable too - congratulations for your part in it. I will give Throne of Fire a go later.

    Thanks for the welcome Jumping Jack :-) it's nice to know that my games have given you guys some fun over the years, and again many years later thanks to emulators and remakes, like my Manic Miner and Jetpac remakes.

    Are these Speccy or PC based remakes?

    They're neither Speccy or PC based, they're on a micro-controller called the Propeller ( from parallax ), with a few resistors, and an RCA connector, you can connect it to a TV, and some clever coding generate a spectrum style display, along with many other, NES, SMS, GG, GB, GBC, MD style display, and then code a remake. :)

    I've attached an image of it running :)
