Ghost Hunters on the C64 (1987)
A nice little budget game by the Dizzy creators The Oliver Twins. The game is a flick screen platform shooter hybrid. Move your character using the joystick and a gun sight by pressing the fire button. Cheap but fun.

Splatterhouse 2 on the Megadrive (1992)
The original Splatterhouse was released in the arcade in 1988, And it would seem that the intervening four years hasn’t led to any innovation, as the sequel is pretty much exactly the same game.

Chiller on the ZX Spectrum (1984)
A rather poorly coded platform game, with indecipherable graphics and gameplay that’s too hard to avoid you seeing its lack of depth. Five screens of action was stingy, even for 1984. Cover artwork is nice though.
