1987 Mastertronic Added Dimension (UK)
by Stuart Middleton, Dave Stevenson, Lee Stevenson and Robert Burden
As you can see this is another Gauntlet clone. Comparisons are unavoidable, but I feel this one manages to escape the obvious similarities. On one hand the sprites, which are big(!) and another more importantly is the quest, it's not just about finding keys (or passes) to reach the exit, but also to collect 24 pieces of 'something' (differs depending on the level you play) before you can call it a day (or be a Hero). Of course, there ain't enough to be called original, there isn't anything original about this game, but at least it gives the Gauntlet idea a new dimension.
A slower Gauntlet clone with the usual amount of treasures, keys and nasties, whith this time are harder to manage because your character seems to have a rather bad aim. You can load three different mazes, and they all need urgent mapping. Decent value for a budget, I didn't like it, though.
2,5/5
