Reviews for Chambers of Horrors (#881)

Review by Stack on 12 Jan 2014 (Rating: 1)

Chambers of Horrors has a cool loading screen whilst the game itself brings togther 5 or 6 minigames any one of which alone might have earned itself a place on the fabled Cassette 50.

Stage 1 sees you fleeing past udg spiders and blocks of marsh and nettles to reach the exit

Stage 2 has you shooting udg crabs with a 'catapult'. 1st go this glitched and crabs went into infinite minus figures until I died.

Stage 3 is a game of time when to jump so that you land on the eagle's back. Its a do or die press one key stage

Stage 4 is flatten the stalacmites so that the eagle can land. Its a very basic and near unplayable bomber clone. I fluked my way through it.

Stage 5 looks a pile of shit but is actually quite fun and fast. You have to hold off the chasing wolves by runnning as fast as possible past the potholes without falling. Play this stage and it will make your eyes go funny.

Land of Hope and Glory plays at the end.

I may have forgotten a stage that was so bad I wiped it from my memory mid game. I'm not sure.

The final tense chase from the wolves was enjoyable but not enough to raise the score above 1/5.

With an Iron Maiden album cover inspired loading screen (Piece of Mind, 1983) and such a suggestive title, I was expecting a more gruesome game.
Well maybe if I play it in some low light grisly basement accompanied with some Iron Maiden background music at high volume it would get slightly scarier. Or maybe (just maybe) not.
It's just a BASIC game with uninspiring gameplay that has few to do with the title.
