A superb hybrid of Solomon's Key and Panic, Karlos und Schatze der Azteken (the broken German of the title is intentional according to the authors) is a platform and ladders game where you as the eponymous character must overcome screen after screen by collecting treasures and finding the exit, avoiding many deadly traps.
Presentation is excellent and gameplay is taxing yet easy to get into. Best game of 2010 and one of the finest 'new releases' ever for Spectrum in my opinion.
