Spellbinder (video game)

Spellbinder is an adventure game, released for the BBC Micro and Acorn Electron in 1987.

His task is to find the evil Magelord outcast Zorn, in the castle of Lorraine, and defeat him by use of the so-called Ultimate Spell.

The game is pseudo-3D, allowing the player to move left, right, forwards and backwards in a room, though not up and down.

Unusually, for a BBC Micro game, it has continuous background music: a version of Midnight Summer Dream, the 1983 song from British rock group The Stranglers' album Feline.

The equipment used to write it was a memory monitor chip, a monochrome 14" TV, a cassette tape recorder and their own BASIC-written graphic-design software.
