There’s not nearly enough colour bleed for it to be a Spectrum game, it looks like a C64 game but I’ve got absolutely no idea what. Colour me stumped!

If my memory serves me correctly that is Doriath.
Damn… that screenshot takes me back.

Good call – Must say that it’s one of the few C64 games I’ve never seen before…

Might have to hunt it out when I get home later on!

Excellent work, Mr Cocks. I always knew you had a refined taste in games.
Doriath is one of those forgotten classics. The mix of exploration, platforming and combat was pitch-perfect. And I loved the spell system that left you rooted to the spot – and vulnerable to attack – while you were controlling the magical projectile you’d just conjured. This was one of those games I spent weeks mapping out on my way to solving it.
Did you realise that almost the entire eastern half of the world map was unpopulated, as if development had halted midway through?

Nathan Cocks got it. A quick google of Doriath and I found the exact same dude from the pic. Based on Tolkien’s works

Oh man, I never finished that game until last month!
Even then I had to use the Doriath map to cheat. -

It is in fact Doriath, I was never any good at it (seeing as though I played it when I was like 3 years old)
