• Completed by Brendan ( Fiery ) Phoenix

My hat goes off to Brendan for completing this little gem - even if he did use the cracked version full of cheats. I must have spent just over an hour trying to complete this little bugger, but to no avail. It wasn't until Brendan mentioned that he was after a challenge that I forced upon him the perils of Vampire. He spent most of the afternoon playing through the whole game, and here is the result of his hard work ...

A little game ending ditty plays ...

... and the final screen appears. The End.

HOW WAS IT COMPLETED?: Both Brendan and I used the cracked version of this game, which still proved to be very difficult.

SO WHAT HAPPENS?: The final 3 pieces you need are the stake, crucifix and hammer - climb to the top and a massive coffin is waiting for you - I jump into it and the screen goes black apart from your sprite and a little star circling round you.

A little David Whittaker ditty plays and then the final screen and message appears, which reads, "AT LAST, THE EVIL SPECTRE HAS BEEN EXPELLED FROM THE FACE OF THE EARTH. A NEW ACHIEVEMENT IN THE LONG JOURNEY OF OUR HERO."

COMMENTS: To be honest, and considering that this game was only £1.99, this ending is pretty cool. Okay, so it doesn't do anything impressive, but what it does do is offer the game player an end to the journey along with some new graphics and music.

FINAL SAY: It's worth an 'ickle look (",)

G.E. RATING: 6 / 10
