 
GRAND SCALE Tombstowne. the latest Amsoft release, is a multiscreen large sprite game broadly in the sryle of some of Mikro-Gen's recent Wally games. The task is to rescue the lost pages of the book of spells from the Castle. Getting the pages involves finding your way around the various rooms of the castle and finding and using a variety of objects.
The graphics are, in places, excellent; almost Sorcery like in detail and design, on the other hand sometimes when sprites pass one another you get what almost seems to be attribute problems - a nasty flickery effect. In some ways this is like Manic Miner played on a grand scale, but with the bonus of some intelligence being required to know what to do where to get from one room to another. My criticism would be that the game lacks a certain spark. Perhaps that's an overly personal judgement, though, which comes from seeing too many such games. Worth a look for sure.
