Reviews for Gremlins (#6399)
Its a game of the film - Only this time its good! It would stand well on its own, and theres not many tie-ins on the Spectrum that can say that.
For a text adventure, it has many location pictures and all the locations feature in the film somewhere. There is not much exploring to be done here, but thats fine.
The grammar can be difficult sometimes ('Weld snowplough'?!) but its got a good sense of humour, and if you've seen the film then you'll have a good idea of what needs doing. It also appears to be the most tipped game after The Hobbit.
If nothing else, just give it a play in the house at the start, and keep pressing the button on the remote control in the kitchen. Funniest. Thing. Ever. (On the Spectrum anyway).

Gremlins is a surprisingly good adventure !!! My most positive regards for this game !!!
I enjoy playing Gremlins very much and I even managed to finish it without cheating .
The game is well-designed, the graphics are more than correct and the different sceneries are quite engaging . The plot is unusual and funny and it works quite well ...
The game feels like a movie , like a very good movie indeed . ;D
There is an atmospheric side about this adventure that wraps you up ... I also like that sort of feeling . you can get lost in it .
A perfect video-adventure ! ! ! 5 / 5 .

If not the best adventure game ever written to the speccy, its by far one of the best.
Beautifully designed graphics with a few animations, not often seen in this sort of games, good game structure with great puzzles to solve almost against the clock.
The text window is my only complaint, because its too bland and a bit cluttered, and I wished the game was a bit more exciting towards the end, but this doesnt spoil the game in any way.
Brilliant text adventure, both film and Spectrum version are great (and that's not usual!). An atmospheric game with a good plot and good puzzles to solve (killing a gremlin with the mixer it's cool!, mwahahahah!). Good graphics complement quite a good adventure.

Bom, eu consegui fazer algumas coisas, e depois empaquei. Só sei que tem muitas salas vazias nesse jogo. Mas a arte é realmente muito boa.
Levando em consideração o quanto esse jogo é elogiado, talvez esse aventura simplesmente não seja minha praia.
