      You call the Atari ST obscure?

      What the hell is the Spectrum?

        I suspect the amount of Spectrum owners vastly outweighs the amount of Atari ST owners.

              If no one here owned a Spectrum I'll do a new game.

                I owned a Speccy.

                I'm not sure I know the game, though. A Dizzy game, maybe?

                  No much older.........it was THE game around 1985. It cost £9.95, which was a princely sum to a 7 year old, but the gameplay was head and shoulders above 95% of games at the time.

                  More clues: You are armed with a sword. Guards patrol the castle in which the powerful tome is located, and although they can be killed their helmet remains on the ground and they come back to life when you reenter the room!

                  Also guarding the castle are ogres (very tough) and the nigh indestructible ghosts, which you must locate items hidden around the castle in order to deal with.

                    Sorry, I don't think I ever played this game. '85 was a few years before my time.

                          I'm guessing 'Sabre Wulf' by ocean i think(or Imagine).

                          I had an american 8bit at the time and really wanted to play this game.

                            No, right era though.........but the game I am thinking of was much more advanced in terms of gameplay.

                              I guess 'Attic Attack'?

                                Again right era but no. Come on, these are just shots in the dark!

                                Anyone who owned a speccy in their heyday would get it immediately from that description.........I'll give it a few hours to see if anyone pops in, then I'll post a screenshot.
