JG: How could I forget Spellbound!! That stumped me for absolutely ages. Thor would always run out of food, or 'die of tiredness'. Fantastic puzzler!

Kickstart II was a good one as well, although my brother had an uncanny knack of staying on those walls whilst I went for a burton...

Henry's House also brings back some memories. I remember having a nightmare about one of the levels (his bedroom?) where the lampshades had faces and they moved up and down. (lol)

Feud, I also enjoyed that one, collecting the herbs to make spells. I did hear somewhere that this, along with the game I'm going to mention below, was impossible to complete as one of the herbs required wasn't accessible?

There were so many other fantastic games, for anyone who's interested, take a look at http://www.lemon64.com for some classic C64 moments...

Universal Hero, another classic in the same vein as Spellbound, but set in space. I believe this was impossible to complete due to a bug.

Rick Dangerous (Indiana Jones but without the license!) was a bugger of a game. Enjoyable, but very difficult.

Christ, Elite was massive, but such a time eater. I never did get into that.

As for Feud you could complete it in, that you could kill Leonoric. Quickest way was to collect herbs for zombie and trap Leonoric in the walled maze. He'd just keep walking into the zombie....dood odoood doo doood oood oooood dooooo 100% completed. You are bang right, one of the herbs was not able to be collected. I think it was for the 'lightning' spell. You could get fireballs and 'sprites' but not lightning.

Never did complete Spellbound, no where near. Like you say, bloomin' Thor. Get a cheeseburger, jesus. Answer on The Internet. Got it emulated on this PC, still yet to walk it through.

Spellbound: I tried the walkthrough and still bloody died! lol. Kept running out of energy, and bloody 'Thursday' would fall asleep and not summon when I blew 'Elfin's' horn... (oo-er!)
