Solomon’s Key is an arcade puzzle-platformer developed by Tecmo and released in 1986. It gained popularity for its challenging gameplay and was later ported to various home systems, including the NES, Commodore 64, and others. You play as Dana, a wizard tasked with retrieving the titular Solomon’s Key, a powerful artifact hidden in a dangerous labyrinth. Dana has the ability to create and destroy blocks, which is essential for avoiding enemies, reaching keys, and ultimately escaping through the exit. The levels are packed with hazards like fireballs, goblins, and other creatures.
The Games Machine (1988): "Unimaginative use of this restricted palette makes the game drab to look at and surprisingly slow, considering the PC's fast processor. The original game was very highly rated on 8-bit machines, but despite an attractive tune the dull graphics and sluggish response make the PC version distinctly unaddictive."
