That's right it is indeed that Golden Oldie a certified Classic from the 8-bit days and to many the best game of the generation or at least one of them, this version was originally created with 32bit graphics in mind.

Currently 70% off £7.19 now £2.15

Head Over Heels Is a Classic Ocean Software Game , Re-Imagined With Beautiful High Res Pixel Art and a Great Soundtrack!

Head and Heels have been captured, separated and imprisoned in the castle
headquaters of Blacktooth. Their cells contain 'keep fit' equipment,
including a wall ladder that Head really must learn to climb. Your job is
to get them both out of the castle and into the market place so they can
join up again. From there, the journey leads to Moonbase Headquaters, where
you will have to decide either to try to escape back to Freedom or to be a
true hero and teleport to one of the slave planets to search for its lost
crown! To overthrow the dictatorship on any of the slave planets would be a
major blow to Blacktooth and you could return to Freedom in glory. Of course
Blacktooth would probably enslave them again eventually but it would slow
down any expansion plans for now. The populace of Blacktooth are so heavily
oppressed that they would have to see all four of the slave planets revolt
before the Blacktooth crown could cause an uprising. This of course would be
the ultimate accolade, and unfortunately, almost certain suicide.

    Loved this on the Spectrum. I didn't know it had been ported to PC.

    Think I have it on Switch, but never got around to playing on the Spectrum, C64 or Amstrad when released.

    The irony is, it costs more than the £1.99 I paid for it in the corner shop sometime in the 80s. Although, if I started loading the game back then it might be ready to play now.

    Would it ruin my memories if I played it again now?

    Might still have this on C64 somewhere? I'm hearing the Ocean Loader in my head whilst this was loading?

    I love everything commodore. The sid chip was totally amazing for the time, and still is.

    I also love lots of c64 tunes and especially all the different ocean loaders. Have you heard any of the updated mixes on c64audio.com/ or by various artists on Youtube?
