Spike in Transilvania

Spike in Transilvania is a video game in the action genre developed by Genesis Software and published by Codemasters originally released in 1991. It is currently playable on Commodore 64, Amiga.

After a rough crossing of the North Sea, Spike the Viking is washed ashore. He ends up in Transylvania, which appears to be an ordinary town. However, he discovers that his shipmates have been captured and imprisoned in the dungeons of the local castle. Spike must rescue his friends from the mysterious castle, but first he has to escape from the (seemingly friendly) villager's house where he is, as the door won't open.

The game is a mix of puzzles and action. The action consists of dodging various enemies, like dogs, ghosts, bats, etc. and avoiding the numerous traps in the castle dungeons.

You only have a limited amount of energy, and if you lose all of it by touching enemies or traps, you lose a life. If you lose all lives, you lose the game.

The puzzles, which are mostly fairly simple, involve both the use of objects, such as money to bribe a guard, and switches that perform various functions, such as disabling traps.

Keys are very important, as they are needed to unlock the cells of your companions. Some cells are protected by guards, who must be tempted in some way to reach the cells they guard.

It is possible that we have multiple downloads available when different versions exist.
