» HOBGOBLIN II

■ PUBLISHER: ATLANTIS ■ YEAR: 1990

The original Hobgoblin was released for Acorn Electron, ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64 and Amstrad CPC, and was a demanding scrolling action game, reminiscent of Ghosts ’N Goblins. What made its sequel so unusual was that it was released exclusively for the 8‑bit Acorns. Surprisingly, its graphics were less attractive than those of the original, but this sequel is still a big improvement, having more gameplay variety and being less unfair on the player.
