Celtic Carnage is a text adventure game centered on the forces of the Primal Darkness led by "The Abomination" and their war with "Time Crusaders of Chronos".
Vigilante forces have raided government military installations and "confiscated" tanks, planes, even warships! Pilot your G-LOC fighter to victory against the guerillas. Only you have the skills to get the job done and save the day!
This game was created by a reader of Your Sinclair, Arno van der Hulst, and sent in to them for inclusion on their Cover Tape.
It appeared with Issue 81, dated September 1992, as part of their Magnificent 7 series of cover mounted cassettes.
The idea of the game is to plonk together three or more blocks of one colour, causing them to disappear from the play area. You can't alter the orientation of the blocks, but by pressing fire you can rotate the colours. Once you've connected enough blocks to reduce the number at the right hand side of the screen to zero, you move on to the next level.
The instructions in the magazine state that choosing the 'Kempston Joystick' option in the menu won't work.
'Twas a time of dread. The land, once so fair, now ravaged by the greatest pestilence since the time of the "Black Wanderer" and the "Unborn one". Three thousand years have passed, years in which the once beautiful land has all but been destroyed.
For three thousand years nothing has been heard of the "Mysterious Stranger", but now on a dark, wet and windy night be returns, to you, a descendent of the "Singer of the Song". You are a mere child, still flushed with the vigour of youth, but it is to you he comes. You who have never done anything heroic in all of your seventeen years.
The ZX Spectrum port of Lemmings features major graphical and audio downgrades due to system limitations, as were the norm with this system. The intro is also cut entirely.
