The story continues with Atari’s nostalgic video game and Dynamite’s comic book of Swordquest on its second issue.

From most of the people who owned and played the Atari 2600 remembered SwordQuest, however, the thing is that the actual game left unfinished in the 80s, but it seemed that the game was more famous, Atari produced some three SwordQuest games to have some different worlds for the player to play with. But now let’s stick to the actual story.

So this issue focuses on the prologue of the game, however there are four elemental planets that were born as a use of black magic and sorcery, but somehow the threat that everyone had faced has led a destructive force to obliterate the whole universe, until the four hooded sorcerers used their powers to combine the four planets into one. Most of the warriors ventured to another world in order to collect some important tools just to forge the greatest weapon of all, after all their battles, the sword became so useless to them, he used magic to send the sword to a different dimension. It’s probably sounded crazy that the actual weapon from the game just sent down to earth in the present time, and thought that the sword is nothing but plastic or a replica of a real sword. Everyone was talking about Sword Quest, but its unbelievably sure that the sword actually exists in that world. While everyone is discussing the fact that the swords actually exists then it’s the fact that the protagonist would get his hands of that sword, but he must take the path of Rulero, however, he conquered the three worlds but the fourth one is a mystery, the Air world has never made into a game because somehow the game developers could have thought that they would have the whole completed game of Sword Quest, but they forgot about the Air World. Will he ever try to find a way to get into the Air World to complete the trials? What will he do next?

In my reflection of this issue, I find that this is more in details of the story because the game has made into four different worlds that the player would ever conquer but somehow the game developers never finished the Air World part of the Sword Quest game. It’s very mysterious to know that the sword really exists, the protagonist reflects the game that he has passed these trials on his childhood in order to have that sword in his own hands. It’s a strange story about how these warriors passed down that sword through generations but then it literary teleported a fictional legendary sword to the modern world. I would like to know what will happen next on the third issue.
