Rebecca of York har gått bort :(

Dvs Olivia Hussey Eisley, skådisen som spelade Rebecca i Ivanhoe. Och även spelade huvudrollen i Oscarsbelönade versionen av Romeo & Julia från 1968 när hon var 15. Och många andra roller genom åren.

'Leicestershire railway line defunded in Labour announcement'

The Ivanhoe line in Leicestershire was part of the Restoring Your Railways fund and leaves it in danger of being cancelled.'

Those familiar with the game will have noticed that the leaves on the trees are not the same color as in the final game! 🍃

And there are only 5 levels out of the 6 announced. And no final boss either (who was to be Prince John)

I found this double-page spread on Ivanhoe in the French magazine Generation 4, July/August 1989.

You can see the beautiful graphics by Michèle Bacqué (and Philippe Dessoly, who did the backgrounds).

I found a non-playable demo of Ivanhoe! 😀

The full demo is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAoXenTozGQ

So, the painting is by Bob Wakelin 🖌️ (thanks @stefanjl for the info!)

Here's the back of the box and the contents.

As you can see, this is the Amiga version. I used to play Ivanhoe on this computer 😀

Received this beautiful box yesterday! 😀

I really liked this game despite its flaws.

I wonder who did the illustration because it's gorgeous! 😍

#MetZonderJas was vroeger bij ons thuis de draagwijze van een (winter)jas met een capuchon. Je zette dan alleen de capuchon op, zonder armen in de mouwen, en deed alsof je #Ivanhoe was. https://toot.re/@mbootsman/112037772078062617

So for ... reasons ... I'm skimming through the chapter summaries of #Ivanhoe at:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ivanhoe

I hit Volume 3, Chapter 7 (37)

and ... what? The content from there onward is exactly a #Hammerfall song:
"The Champion".

Found Darebin Creek in #ivanhoe #Victoria the place to be!

Darebin Creek at the Darebin creek footbridge. A creek and some lovely stone formations in the creek.

Explore the darker side of the Ferguson Collection

With Hallowe’en just behind us, in the first of a series of spooky-themed blog posts by the University of Glasgow Archives & Special Collections, we delve into 19th century literature on the occult. In this article we look at Sir Walter Scott’s (famed writer of Ivanhoe) conception of the supernatural, before moving on to explore the significance of a rare anthology of ghost stories
