Head Over Heels





Back to my Your Sinclair days

Today, I stumbled upon Head Over Heels by pure chance. It’s been 'donkeys years' since I played this on my ZX Spectrum, and seeing it again is a heartwarming reminder of the 80s and its 8-bit games.

Ocean released this tough isometric adventure in 1987. Two years later, an Atari ST version followed, but I don’t recall ever playing it. The game is more complex than it seems, requiring you to solve puzzles using two characters with their own skill sets. Fans of the "filmation" genre will be in heaven with the spectacular graphics and superb detail, boasting more colour than my old rubber Speccy could ever have imagined.

Head Over Heels is a huge and intriguing adventure that’s sure to keep you up at night!!

  • AtariMania features this in their ST database, including an interesting tidbit!
  • Head Over Heels can be installed onto your hard drive thanks to 8BitChip.
