Bewitched	Imagine	1983	cassette commercial escape ghosts keys license-proprietary lives score	Hmm, I vaguely remember writing this game, my first one. Thanks for reminding me what it looked like! :-) [Chris Lancaster]***Bewitched is an odd game, you have been transformed into a key by some wizard...as you do... and you must escape the castle. You can go through the coloured keys to allow you to open coloured doors of the same colour. There are ghosties wandering about trying to stop you and they move at a frustratingly fast pace. When you reach the bottom of the screen, you are horrified to discover the screen scrolls up to reveal more mazes...I never got very far in this hard game. But like all Imagine titles, it is fun and unique. Worth a play any time, but you may not play for long due to the difficulty. [Altori]

Jupiter Defender	Interceptor Software	1983	assemblylang cassette commercial license-proprietary lives score	I wrote this game in 6502 assembler language on a piece of paper - without any software tools - at the age of 11 / 12. I sold it when I was 13 for ~£300 and had my picture on the front page of the Huddersfield Examiner. Interceptor Micros (if I remember correctly) - the publisher - gave me an assembler cartridge after they bought it. I hadn't played the game for 23 years until I downloaded the emulator and rom tonight. It's still as hot as I remember.

Four Gates to Freedom	Phoenix Software	1983	ants captives cassette commercial fixedshooter giantants indoors interactivefiction inventory joystick keyboard license-proprietary lives multiphased multisequence projectiledestruction rescue savepassword score space spacecraft wordinput	This is a two phased game. The initial phase is a fixed space shooter with surprisingly complex action. Multiple types of enemies and their multiple types of projectiles are destructible (save one type of ship), but hits results in smaller bits of destructible debris that must be dealt with. But that's just deadly distractions. The goal is to blast away at four levels of gates to release captives from the giant space ants, gain a clue for the next phase, and then gain entry into the text-adventure phase. The text-adventure phase is a simple text-adventure. Completing level 4 of the action game reveals a password to unlock the adventure game whenever desires. Entering the text-adventure phase is always optional. The joystick is used in the action phase, the keyboard is used in the adventure phase, and never the quain shall meet.*** [4]

The Perils of Willy	Software Projects	1984	claiming commercial instantdeath jetsetwilly joystick keyboard license-proprietary lives score walking willyminer	Oh what a night, drinking, dancing and singing 'til dawn. Now it's time for all the revellers to make their way home. Being a little worse for drink, you decide to walk home in the cool night air, rather than taking a taxi. Singing merrily along the way, you walk through the park and skip lightly over the ducks and catch the notes of music that seem to hang in the air. But be careful when approaching the railway, trains still run at this time of day and wild dogs are in search of food!! When you have collected all the notes on the level you are on you will proceed to the next, collecting a time bonus on the way.* [193]* [4]*** [15]
