As Ultimate later stated “Knight Lore was finished before Sabrewulf. But we decided then that the market wasn’t ready for it. Because if we released Knight Lore and Alien 8 - which was already half finished - we wouldn’t have sold Sabrewulf. So we released Sabrewulf which was a colossal success, and then released the other two.” Crash magazine rated Underwurlde at 92% and gave Knight Lore 94% and both were released for Christmas 1984 ensuring colossal success.
