Olli and Lissa – The Ghost of Shilmoore Castle – Space Time Games announces a fabulous remake of an 8bit classic!

It’s been some time since we’ve featured a PC remake of a classic 8bit game, so to change all that, here’s a rather special heads up for you all, it’s Olli and Lissa – The Ghost of Shilmoore Castle by Space Time Games. A new game in which you must help Olli find the ingredients to the magic potion and save Shilmoore Castle. A remake of a ZX Spectrum budget title which was originally published in 1986 by Firebird, and appeared on other home computers such as the Amstrad CPC and C64. To coincide with this news, we’ve got some footage of the game reviewed by Rowlands Reviews.

Here’s the latest from the website. ” Olli and Lissa was an attractive, if notoriously difficult Spectrum game, by Ionis Software International and released by Firebird in 1986. We’ve taken the game and given it a few tweaks to make it more forgiving and enjoyable, as well as a graphical uphaul that respects the original art. You must traverse 8 screens, dodging ghosts and other creatures, to collect the items for the magic potion that Lissa is brewing up to make the ghost of Sir Humphrey invisible!”
