To Hell and Back

To Hell and Back is a video game in the action genre and published by CRL Group PLC originally released in 1988. It is currently playable on Commodore 64.

You are the Archangel Bertram and you are on a mission from heaven to the depths of hell to recover the Ten Commandments stolen by Mephisto. To make you angrier and more determined, Mephisto has also stolen your horn. You start outside the gates of hell and must go deeper and deeper into the depths to confront Mephisto and destroy him.

In this platform and maze game in which the screen scrolls as you move, you must shoot various creeps with your halo and jump over spike pits and lava through various levels. If you touch a bug, it takes away some energy and if it reaches zero or you touch the spikes and lava, you lose one of the 8 lives. Occasionally you come across a bible that can restore some energy. At the end of a level there is a boss and when you defeat it, you get a commandment back.

In addition to the main game area, you can see your score, lives, commandments collected and lives. A joystick is used to control Bertram.

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