Pyracurse [1986, Hewson Consultants]



This is one of the most frustrating games ever. I hate headless zombies, flying skulls and giant scorpions. And I always will.

This is one of different possible lists:

The Great Escape
Knight Lore
Manic Miner
Skool Daze
Highway Encounter
WEC Le Mans
Movie
Cobra
Rick Dangerous
Nebulus

+
Fred
Head Over Heels
Robocop
Panzadrome
Conquestador

Snowball (1983) by Level 9.

1. Hyperaction
2. Worse Things Happen At Sea
3. Talos

I've played Oddi The Viking. That's for sure.

There's a good amount of good stuff here, I don't know exactly what to prioritize

1. Terramex
2. Pacmania
3. Peter Shilton's Handball Maradona (which is laughable, anyway)
