L’Abbaye des Morts is bringing ZX Spectrum back

If nothing else, you have to give credit to Locomalito for excelling at capturing the essence of aged, beloved videogames. And hell, they have the best faux old-school box art I’ve ever seen. First there was the shoot-’em-up Hydorah, and now we have L’Abbaye des Morts.

It’s a platformer in the same vein as Matthew Smith ZX Spectrum titles Manic Miner and Jet Set Willy. Sold yet? Well, it is a free download, so that’s okay. The influences are a little before my time, but I can appreciate what Locomalito is going for nonetheless.
