GHOSTLY CAPERS

Story:

Super Hero Steve is your host for the much anticipated Retro Convention, full of exciting computers, consoles and arcade machines. A fantastic day is expected to be enjoyed by all, but there's one tiny problem... the venue is haunted by mischievous and pesky ghouls. They are not best pleased about having their home invaded and are determined to put a stop to the fun. They have snatched and hidden all the awesome retro gear, locked the main gates and thrown away the key. The success of the event up to you now. Dodge the ghosts' devilish traps, find all the hidden items, retrieve the gate key and open everything up before everyone arrives. The clock is ticking!

Tips:

You can be scared up to 10 times before you get completely spooked out of your mind and give up, but you have a terribly important trick up your sleeve which you'll need if you want to complete the game.  Press the down key to cower, close your eyes and put your head between you legs! This will protect you from any passing, fearful phantoms -  What you can't see can't hurt you!

Controls:

1. Q - Climb Up  

   A - Climb Down or ( Activate Cowardice )

   O - Move Left

   P - Move Right

   M - Jump

2. Kempston Joystick

3. Sinclair

This is gorgeous

Thank you πŸ™ 

Downloaded and Donated. I look forward to playing this as we head towards Halloween. Watched TJ's attempt, looks great but I doubt I will do any better than him. Cheers.

Thank you, most kind! Remember if you press the down key you cower and become invincible πŸ˜ƒ

Cheers, when that finally sunk it with me last night, it made the game easier, although timing still needs to be spot on. I will be back to it this weekend.
