Rating: 4.5/5
It is a large multi-coloured arcade adventure game where you find keys objects to access areas in the castle and outside visiting such things as the pyramids the witches house etc and inside the kitchen the cellar the well etc the oject is to collect 5 crystals and take these across the ocean to the temple then teleport to the palace to destroy the dictator Marduk. There are 3 hidden crowns to find. I could only get 2 crystals across as a child, but after playing Tomb Raider Underworld and completing it I retried Citadel and completed it in around 3 and a half hours, after a few warm up tries. Tomb Raider Underworld trained me to press the buttons so accurately I minimised the energy loss from touching any moving sprites in the game and I was more pleased to complete Citadel because there is no save game and the adrenalin rush as I was reaching the end I was shaking because it has been around 30 years since I bought it. Ravenskull is another beautifal Electron game.
