Horace & The Spiders

 Home > Browse Our Collection > Software > Sinclair ZX Spectrum > Horace & The Spiders
 

The third and final game in the Horace series unlike the first two games, was only released on the Spectrum.

The game itself is a mixture of games styles, the first sees him climbing a hill and jumping over spiders, the second, involves crossing a bridge, and swinging on spider threads, rather similar to Pitfall.

The third and final level definitely takes inspiration from Lode Runner, where Horace runs up and down webs, jumping on them to make holes, which the spiders fall into, where he can then jump on them to clear the level.
