Longplay and review for "SHADOW OF THE BEAST" on the Amstrad CPC!

Allright guys! Shadow Of The Beast was an impressive looking game on the Amiga with stunning graphics, presentation, multiple levels of parallax scrolling, and hauntingly atmospheric music. However the gameplay was crap, lacking and overly difficult. Definitely a case of all fur coat and no knickers! So how on earth were Gremlin going to convert this to the Amstrad when the 16-bit original relied so heavily on those graphics masking the gameplay issues? Xyphoe enables beast mode and stomps off to find out...
