  • A great Ultimate play the game here in Sabre Wulf.
    and one of my first Zx Spectrum games in the early days, not a easy game, but look at those lovely colours and graphics, great gameplay and fun.
    My 2nd favourite Ultimate game, please give it a blast guys 👍

    Me and my mate Andrew mapped this when it came out. Not easy without infinite lives. We got it published in Crash! magazine. Some other lad called Joel also got a co-credit IIRC. Happy times.

      Hi Ed, oh you should definitely give this a go for nostalgia mate.
      Cracking little game, find the 4 pieces of the Amulet round the jungle, get passed the guardian and escape the jungle 😀 👍
      It's one of those games I always go back too mate, still love the gameplay and graphics after all these yrs.
      Beers were involved in the speccy rave at the end, well a few 🤣 🍻

    Enjoyed that mate. Might do a comparison between Speccy and Beeb at some point as I have both. The Beeb version is pretty great aswell although Sabre Wulf will always be a Speccy game for me. What a game!
    Have a great weekend mate👍

    IIRC, this was the first Spectrum £10 game and came in a black "deluxe" box. I never finished it either, like you got 3 pieces ONCE. I coudn't understand how low the completed % was when I died having collected 3 lol. Very vibrant Ultimate graphics and slick playability whilst challenging. What blew my mind a few years ago was when I found out that Ulimate had finished Knightlore (Sabre mans supposedly 2nd outing) before they finished his first appearance in Sabre Wulf, but delayed release due to leap in graphics to not impact Wulfs sales.

    • @stewsretroreviews
      @stewsretroreviews  Před 3 měsíci +1

      I had the big box version at first, got lost when we moved house I think.
      I know knightlore was massive when it was released for being isometric etc, but I preferred Sabre wulf any day lol 👍

    I remember sabre wolf, had it on the commodore 16 plus 4, it was a great classic, took weeks to complete it and it was full of things telling you that if you reached the end then there was a surprise for you,, yeah, that surprise was a statement telling you to look out for sabre wolf 2 coming out soon,, I felt disappointed at that, and another thing, I never found sabre wolf 2 either, was it ever made or released?

      Hello there, Sabre Wulf is a classic I have fond memories playing with my brother back in the day.
      I only ever found 3 parts of Amulet so never finished it.
      But yes, Sabre Wulf 2 would've been Knightlore featuring Sabreman again. It's an Isometric game, it was massive back in the day, but I prefer Sabre Wulf. Another game too was Underwurlde, it was ok too 👍
