I was never patient enough when i was a kid but few years ago i remembered this game and got the emulator, i figured out the first 2 levels and posted them here on youtube. awesome but mega hard puzzles. :)

The top Ravenbee is a complete git on the Electron version. It's much better on the BBC and PC

I've been waiting on this one. Good review, thanks!

Loved this back in the Day, I think the electron version was better than the BBC version as I loved the Character select screen and stats Scroll at the side.

Ravenskull sounds like something out of Knightmare actually.

Shame the game of both this and the main game are completely crap compared to the real thing.

Where do you see flying Dragons in Ravenskull or Knightmare the game?

This is another game that I had when I was a kid, I liked it, but it was too hard, I couldn't really get far at all.

What with these videos, watching 'Micro Men' last night and nostalgia, I'm wanting to get an Electron again.

LOL, indeed mate.

Great review!

So this like like Gauntlet, without the fun or action, crossed with an adventure game like Metroid, without the play control or level design. Sign me up!

Castle Ravenskull sounds familiar because the castle for He-Man was castle Greyskull.

It's kind of like a computerised pub crawl around London in the middle of the night, where you have to draw your own map, half of the pubs are closed, all of the drunkards are out at once, and you're allergic to alcohol.

On the plus side, it does cram a pleasantly smooth scrolling and very large map into a very small amount of RAM.

Right... time for a pint.

Oh... yeah.. allergy.

Damn!

Ravenskull was not one of Superiors better games imho .Too little action . Though interestingly they have not so long ago produced a PC version of this title , so it has some fans !

For a BBC/electron gauntlet clone , with action , see Dunjunz (bug-byte) . Not perfect , but not too bad .

Good advice on the dynamite carrying, is there an iphone app for small explosives? If so I may invest in one :P , nice video, I'd have to be illegally relaxed to get far in this game I think

I immediately had a Gauntlet association when I saw the still.

Looks a bit tedious. Probably was fun back in the day because the playing area was so big?

But probably it never was fun?

Cheers. I have the Sky Plus set to record it :)
