Soft & Cuddly, ZX Spectrum
A follow-up (of sorts) to the horror-themed Go To Hell, Soft & Cuddly is a satirical horror platform game, designed and programmed by John George Jones and published by The Power House in 1987.

This 1987 release from Piranha Games is the fifth of the ‘big sprite’ games from renowned ZX Spectrum programmer Don Priestley.

Wizball, Atari ST
Wizball is a really easy game to play. You just have to know how to play it…
