henry’s house

■ Developer: mastertronic ■ Year: 1987

After playing about in his father’s lab, Henry has shrunk himself to a height of six inches. He then has to escape, but there are many obstacles in his path. Stamping shoes, dripping taps and giant toothbrushes are all out to get the plucky hero as he makes his way through each level, attempting to find the key to make his escape. Henry’s House is a joy to play and as great a platformer as you’re likely to find on an 8-bit system.
