Phantomas

Codemasters must be using some sort of games designer program for their Spectrum games. The similarities between Phantomas and Vampire are many.

The graphics are similar in style. Clouds in both programs are identical.

The gameplay in both is very similar. Even the way the energy levels are represented are the same and the rate of descends are identical.

Phantomas

You play the part of Phantomas who comes from a far away galaxy. His only abilities are to rob and plunder wherever he goes.

As Phantomas you must find the hidden treasure in the millionaire's mansion.

To do this, you must travel to the planet Earth-Gemma and search out the mansion using helicopters and planes.

When you arrive at the mansion you must always be on the look out for trouble which includes boulders that chase you!

To help you in parts of the game there are riddles on the game cover.

This is a good game but it is too much like Vampire. Let's hope they can find a new set of graphics to use in the next Spectrum release.
