Erik: Phantom of the Opera 1987 no-cheats RZX walkthrough (ZX Spectrum)
8ZX Spectrum exclusive title "Erik: Phantom of the Opera" made in 1987 by Crysys Software. The game partially based on 1909's Gaston Leroux's novel Le Fantôme de l'Opéra. You are playing as Raoul and you must save your beloved Christine from evil Erik with your faithful gun. A classic damsel in distress plot. You must find 6 keys to open 6 doors to the lair of phantom and rescue Christine.
It was great Speccy platformer for 1987. Smoth 4-way scrolling, tons of different enemies and colorful entourage of an opera. But random behavior of enemies and only one life makes the game almost impossible.
No fancy AY stuff here unfortunately, only speaker noise.
Full walkthrough takes about 9 minutes (and I was slow), but the game is extremely hard and unforgiving. No cheats were used besides RZX rollback!
Have you seen Erik, the hardest game boss ever?
