About Hero of the Golden Talisman (C64/CPC)

Originally released in the mid 1980s for home microcomputers, this fantasy platformer saw players take on the role of a lone hero, battling to save their home town from the grip of an evil wizard's curse! Now, relive those days in this remastered emulated version.

Contains both the Amstrad CPC and Commodore 64 versions of the game.

Gameplay


Traverse a vast labyrinth in search of the 5 pieces of the golden talisman, the only means to release your home town from its terrible curse. Jump across pits, climb ropes, swim, and shoot at the various deadly enemies, from bouncing eyeballs to fearsome fish to deadly fire-breathing dragons! Collect items to help you in your quest, including keys, ropes, lanterns, and strength-augmenting flags.

This enhanced version introduces a number of modern features to this retro classic, including:
  • Saving/loading the game at any point
  • Support for most modern game controllers
  • Full control remapping
  • Image scaling and smoothing options

I played this game as a kid and it's still challenging. I find myself making the same mistakes I made in the 80's lol!
