1984 Loriciels (France)
by Patrice Wallerich

The french werent much interest in Spectrum games and I bet they were having more fun chasing girls while we nerds were playing computer games.

If you dont believe that than check this utterly disgusting piece of software from one of their best(!)companies.

Translated into English I think as The Goblin's Ballard, which is a pity as I thought it was French for the The Ballard of Luton, Luton Town have their own ballard, but no it is a goblin. And am I supposed to be a goblin? It looks like an elf with a santa hat on. This hat is very special to him as the bat steals it from you and then kills you when it touches your unprotected head. I also reached the end of the forest in about three minutes and my game ended as if it was a completion, but I did select the lowest difficulty so maybe it presents a longer, greater challenge in higher difficulties. But this is a flickery mess of a game with rubbish graphics, rubbish jumping and little gameplay which is anything but fun. It's up there with the likes of Butterfly frankly, awful, awful, awful.
