About the Game

Originally released in 1986, this fiendishly difficult platformer for home microcomputers from British developers Gremlin Graphics saw players take on the role of Sir Randolph as he quests to free the fair maid Amelia from the evil clutches of Spegbott the Terrible. Now, relive those days in this remastered emulated version. Contains both the ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC versions.

Gameplay

Progress through twenty gruelling levels, fighting your way through the wrecked space cruiser. Defend yourself against the Berzerka Security Droids, to finally reach the planet's surface where you must do battle against mystical creatures to ultimately reach Spegbott's castle, where you will find your beloved, guarded by the awesome Henchodroid. Defeat him in mortal combat to ultimately release the beautiful Amelia.

  • Saving/loading the game at any point
