I used to have this on a Vic 20 cartridge , and that's how I played it, but the Spectrum version is practically identical. This one is going to have a high vote even because of strong memory value, then, because Voodoo Castle, along with Pirate Cove [titled Pirate Adventure in the Spectrum release], are the first adventures I played, and they worked, because they, in fact, intrigued me - they were a good first encounter with the adventure genre. It was creepy and fun. The coffin, the thunder, the chimney-sweeper stuck in the chimney. The riddle. Not understanding half of the words. What to do with a stupid "wand". What's a "wand"? A massive stone door with a sapphire ring. I was able to go past it when I was a kid, and then some years after I couldn't anymore. The cryptic and mysterious: "you can't do that... yet!". The inevitable in-game advertising.
4/5
