Ravenskull on Acorn Electron 8 bit vintage home computer.

http://www.retrogamingcollector.com ----------------

Gameplay from Ravenskull by Superior Software on the Acorn Electron 8 bit vintage home computer. Retro Gaming.

This is not a review, walkthrough, playthrough, or demonstration of my playing ability.
It's simply a quick demonstration of the game so that anyone not familiar with these old games can see what it looks like.
It's also here so that I can embed it, along with most of the games in my collection, on my website (see link above).

Any opinions or comments I make regarding these games should largely be taken with a pinch of salt.
They are usually based on my first impressions after a very brief play.

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!

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.

LOL, indeed mate.

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.
