La Espada Sagrada [Toposoft, 1990] https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/pub/sinclair/screens/in-game/e/EspadaSagradaLa.gif Very cute and playable Spanish arcade/adventure. No British magazine reviewed it. MicroHobby gave it only 72%. It probably deserved more. https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/SCRtoImage....

Re: Game of the day...
It's pretty good once you learn how to control your character and how to use his transformations. Yeah, that’s something I struggled with. How do I use the keys on doors? Also, I can’t seem to be able to land on the second floor as a vampire. I can fly up there as a bat, and then, once I transform,...

Also, it's got nice details, like the women pointing their crucifix at you, or the way you suck the blood of the people until they wither and become just bones falling to the ground.

Bought it full price and I was quite satisfied.PeteProdge wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2020 9:55 amI'd have been disappointed with it at a budget price. At best, it'd be interesting as a magazine covertape inclusion.
Better than the coin op conversion, with its trite and repetitive smash-everybody gameplay.

Re: Game of the day...
Robocop 2 doesn't even give you the chance of mindless destruction because some of the baddies must simply be arrested by touching them, and if you shoot them, your energy is drained, so you must constantly be careful. A pain in the iron bottom.

Hammerfist [Activision, 1990] Never understood back in the day how this peculiar sci fi game works, but now that I know, looks like I can't stop playing it (played it for hours last night).

ST. DRAGON [Storm, 1990] As in Dragon Breed, released the same year, you control a sort of dragon which can use its tail as a shield or as a lethal weapon, while shooting at myriads of nasties in a horizontally scrolling enviroment. It was a Crash Smash. Pretty tough too. https://spectrumcomputing....

What did Bob Pape do after the miraculous R-Type conversion? Another horizontal space shoot'em up conversion of a Irem coin-op: Dragon Breed [Activision, 1990]. Not spectacular as R-Type but still a high level effort. Damn hard though. https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/pub/sinclair/screens/in-game/d/D...

I've started to play The House on the Tor , a 1990's text adventure by Zenobi Software. It's pretty playable, with no Sudden Death Syndrome, in fact, with no death at all until now. It's a mystery concerning a house that your uncle left you. No elfs nor trolls. https://spectrumcomputing.co.uk/SCRtoI...
